Evan Rachel Wood Lands Mary Jane Role in ‘Spider-Man’ Musical
In news that probably should have gone with the production of ‘Spider-Man 4′, Evan Rachel Wood confirmed to IESB that she would be playing the part of Peter Parker’s love, Mary Jane Watson, in the Broadway production of ‘Spider-Man’. Â While doing a junket for ‘The Wrestler’, Wood said that she had been cast and that rehearsals start in June of 2009.
As for the role of Parker/Spider-Man, Marvel Entertainment has been trying to land Jim Sturgess (‘Across the Universe’) for quite some time. Â Wood said they are “still trying to convince him.”
The Broadway show will be helmed by Julie Taymor with music and lyrics provided by Bono and the Edge of U2.
What do you think? Â Should Wood replace Kirsten Dunst in ‘Spider-Man 4′, as well? Â What do you think of a ‘Spider-Man’ musical? Â Let us know by commenting below!
