Anthony Mackie will move his West End production of Macbeth to Broadway, marking a return to theatre after a long absence. He will play the title role, with the run set to run until July 2027.

The production began its run in the West End before the Broadway transfer was confirmed by entertainment outlets. The move represents a big shift for a performer largely absent from the stage in recent years.

After his Broadway commitment wraps up, Mackie has confirmed he will film Avengers: Secret Wars, placing the superhero film in after his stage work is complete.
