Spider-man Musical by Julie Taymor and Bono

Spider-man: The Musical!!!

It has been announced that Spider-man is making his way to Broadway. The Spider-man Musical will be brought to us by Julie Taymor (of Across the Universe, and The Lion King fame) with music by Bono and The Edge of U2!!!

It should be interesting to see if Spider-man will have the same success on Broadway that the character has enjoyed in comic books, movies, and children's cartoons.

This lens will provide the most up-to-date information on the status of the Spider-man Musical production. Please check back frequently in the weeks ahead.

Who will Julie Taymor cast as Peter Parker/Spider-man and Mary Jane Watson?

That's the million dollar question.

In very early walkthroughs of the Spider-man Musical, Julie Taymor used actors Jim Sturgess as Peter Parker, and Evan Rachel Wood as Mary Jane Watson. These are the same two actors that worked with Taymor as leads in the 2007 movie "Across the Universe".

Will Sturgess and Wood have the inside track on the lead roles of the Spider-man Musical? Probably not, but I think they could certainly pull it off!
