To Act, Or Not To Act: Oscar Isaac Might Play Hamlet on Stage

Oscar Isaac’s next project may not be in front of the camera–but opining on a stage about life, death and Ophelia. Broadway.com is reporting that Isaac (who’s best known for his roles in Star Wars, Inside Llewyn Davis and Ex Machina–as well as basically being the boyfriend of the Internet) has been offered the titular role of Hamlet in an upcoming production at Theatre for a New Audience in Brooklyn, NY.

If Isaac accepts the role, this won’t be the first time he’s performed Shakespeare on a stage. He’s also played Romeo as a part of Shakespeare’s in the Park’s Romeo and Juliet as well as Proteus in Two Gentlemen of Verona. He’ll also join other faves of the Internet who have played Hamlet on-stage–among them Benedict Cumberbatch and David Tennant.

I know I’ll be buying tickets to this if it turns out to be a thing; how about you?
