Spider-ManThe friendly neighbour loves to spin a web in all directions.

While Spider-Man 2, the movie version of the Marvel comic book hero directed by Sam Raimi and featuring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and Alfred Molina, is breaking records at the US box office, creative enthusiasts are taking him to Broadway, says People magazine.

Who's on board?

For starters, filmmaker Neil Jordan (The Crying Game, Interview With The Vampire) will pen the script, Julie Taymor (The Lion King: Pride Rock on Broadway) will handle the direction, and U2 stars Bono and The Edge will score the soundtrack.

As an aside, both Jordan and U2 are of Irish origin.

Now who do you think will be ideal for Spidey's role?
