Oscar Isaac has landed the lead role in a new theatrical production of Hamlet. He (pictured, via) has become well-known for acting in The Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the X Men: Apocalypse movies.
The Daily Mail reports that Sam Gold has agreed to serve as the director. This play will run at the Theatre For A New Audience in Brooklyn, New York.
Here’s more from Broadway Buzz: “Isaac says he was inspired by his performance in the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse to take on the role of the troubled Danish prince, according to the newspaper. He plays evil mutant En Sabah Nur (the Apocalypse of the title) in the movie and even holds a human skull a la Shakespeare’s Yorick on the movie poster.” (via Digital Spy)
