The much-anticipated upcoming Julie Taymor directed Spider-Man musical entitled "Turn Off the Dark" just took another ambitious step towards completion. Scottish actor Alan Cumming has been confirmed as the pumpkin-bomb throwing Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin.
The actor will play the villain of SpiderMan: Turn Off the Dark on Broadway next February, opposite already confirmed Evan Rachel Wood, who will portray the Spider-Man alter-ego Peter Parker's love interest Mary Jane Watson in the production, which will feature new music composed by U2 stars Bono and The Edge.
