Overview
- Deadline first reported the casting on Monday, October 5, 2026, when Anthony Mackie confirmed he will play Macbeth in the New York transfer of Max Webster’s production.
- Rehearsals are scheduled to begin in February 2027, with previews in late March or early April and a run extending through July at a Broadway theater that has not yet been announced.
- The transfer follows Webster’s acclaimed Donmar and Harold Pinter Theatre seasons and is known for Gareth Fry’s binaural headphone sound system that fed actors’ microphone audio directly to audience headsets.
- Casting for Lady Macbeth and other principal roles remains underway, and Mackie has suggested the company will likely be an all‑American cast.
- Mackie returns to Broadway after a 16‑year absence and says he will complete outstanding Avengers commitments, including work on Secret Wars, once the Broadway run concludes.
