“Denzel Washington has a long, celebrated history with Shakespearean works. Most notably, he starred as Lord Macbeth in Joel Coen’s acclaimed 2021 film The Tragedy of Macbeth. Additionally, he took to the Broadway stage as Othello in a modern-day revival, and previously played Don Pedro in Kenneth Branagh’s 1993 film Much Ado About Nothing.”
