Anthony Mackie will bring his West End production of Macbeth to Broadway, returning to the stage after a long absence. He will play the title role, with the run expected to continue until July 2027.

The production started on the West End stage before the Broadway transfer was picked up by theatre press. The move is a notable step for a performer better known recently for his screen work.

After his Broadway engagement ends, Mackie has confirmed he will film Avengers: Secret Wars, scheduling the blockbuster in after his stage work wraps.
