Evan Rachel Wood on 'Spider-Man': new Spidey, new villains and that upside down kiss!

Evan Rachel Wood will play Mary Jane in Julie Taymor's "Spider-Man" on Broadway!

"I start rehearsals in June and will be on Broadway for a year," she said Wednesday at a press junket for "The Wrestler." She's already learned the songs, written by Bono, and did a run-through for Marvel.

But that's not why she recently colored her hair red, like Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane movie character.

"No, I didn’t even think about it," she insists. "After I got it done, I looked in the mirror and went ‘Duh!' I emailed Julie the picture!”

Who will be Spidey?

"We're trying to convince Jim Sturgess (her "Across the Universe” costar). We did the workshop together, but I don’t know if he can commit to a whole year."

How about the villains? "There will be some new ones and some old ones," she said cautiously.

And will she have to do wire work?

"Yeah, I’ll be dangling from buildings and things. It should be fun."

But she insists that Spider-Man will never, ever sing in tights. "That was the deal. He never sings in Spandex," Wood says.

And will she have to do that upside-down kiss?

"Everyone keeps asking me that! I think there might be one at the end. I'm gonna have to have a talk with Julie. I can’t remember if there is one. But people will be waiting for it so we might have to make that happen."

And make sure it takes place in the rain too OK?

"Spider-Man" fans everywhere will salute you!
