Evan Rachel Wood chatted with IESB today at the junket for The Wrestler in Beverly Hills and spilled the beans on some casting information regarding Marvel Entertainment’s Spider-Man the musical that’s been in development for some time.

The newly single actress revealed that she has been cast as Mary Jane in the musical and that rehearsals start in June of 2009.

As for her Peter Parker she added that they are still trying to convince her Across the Universe co-star Jim Sturgess to play the part.

The Broadway show will be helmed by Julie Taymor with Bono and The Edge of U2 providing the music and lyrics.

I must say she looks sooooo much better now without that black hair….
