It was only a matter of time until the biggest franchises ever hit Broadway.

Marvel Entertainment has just announced that the web-slinger will be adapted for the stage. Tony Award-winning stage and film director Julie Taymor will be directing.

Just to guarantee a crowd, they’ve got U2’s Bono and The Edge writing the songs and music for the show.

This is the first time a Marvel Comic character has been onstage. No date has been announced for the show, but they’re expecting to have a reading this summer.
