Well this wasn't a spring production on my bingo card.

EXCLUSIVE: Anthony Mackie, who plays Sam Wilson aka Captan America in the big-screen Marvel movies, will return to Broadway to take on William Shakespeare’s most notorious villain, Macbeth. He will take on the role from spring 2027 after an absence from the boards of 16 years, the actor reveals to Deadline.
Mackie will play Shakespeare’s tragic Scottish general, the Thane of Cawdor, in the New York transfer of a production that Tony and Olivier Award-nominated director Max Webster (Henry V) staged to great acclaim in London at the Donmar Warehouse Theatre in late 2023, with David Tennant and Cush Jumbo as the cruel Macbeths. The production later moved to the Harold Pinter Theatre in London’s West End for a sold-out 11 week season.
