Anthony Mackie will move 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 set to run until July 2027.

The production started on the West End stage 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 engagement ends, Mackie has confirmed he will film Avengers: Secret Wars, scheduling the blockbuster in after his stage work wraps.
