Hayley Atwell In Much Ado About Nothing

Marvel Co-Stars to Reunite for Much Ado About Nothing

Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell to Take on Shakespeare

Performances to Begin in February 2025

London's West End is set to welcome another star-studded Shakespearean production. Marvel Cinematic Universe co-stars Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell will play the banter-filled lovers Benedick and Beatrice in Jamie Lloyd's revival of Much Ado About Nothing.

The performance will run at Theatre Royal Drury Lane from February 10th to April 5th, 2025. Tickets will go on sale soon.

Hiddleston and Atwell's casting follows Sigourney Weaver's recent announcement that she will star in The Tempest, which will also be part of a season of Shakespeare at the Donmar Warehouse.

This production will be the first time the two MCU stars have shared the stage since their 2012 film, The Avengers. Their chemistry and camaraderie are sure to make this production an unforgettable experience for theatergoers.

The play is a romantic comedy set in Messina, Italy. It follows the story of Benedick and Beatrice, two witty and independent individuals who initially mock each other but eventually fall in love. The play is full of mistaken identities, love triangles, and humorous characters, making it a timeless classic.

With such a talented cast, this production is sure to be a must-see for theatergoers and Shakespeare enthusiasts alike.
