In a much-too-long YouTube video, musician Reeve Carney talks about donning the red and blue bodysuit for Broadway.

“We just wanted to get up here on YouTube today to tell you something important to us, and to maybe some people who are fans of certain comic books. Okay, basically, let’s cut to the chase—we wanted to confirm the rumors going around the internet today that I, Reeve Carney, will in fact be playing Peter Parker, the amazing Spider-Man, in the Broadway production of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.”

The announcement comes after months of rumors circulating Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, the musical production of the famed superhero. While I have not heard of Reeve Carney (nor his band Carney, for that matter), I have heard of actors Evan Rachel Wood (Mary Jane) and Alan Cumming (you may remember him from that other comic book film adaptation, X-Men).

Bono and The Edge provided the music while Julie Taymor wrote and directed the adaptation, which doesn’t seem to have a debut date (according to its website); however, there are previews starting at the end of February next year.
