As Iago

What...a showdown.

Daniel Craig and David Oyelowo are set to star in a New York Theatre Workshop staging of Othello.

The Selma star will play Shakespeare’s Moorish general in the fall 2016 production, while the man who is still James Bond will take on the role of Iago, his duplicitous lieutenant.

I believe the play will mark Craig’s first foray Off-Broadway. He most recently lit up the Great White Way opposite his better half, Rachel Weisz, in Betrayal. It, for sure, will be Oyelowo’s debut with the New York Theatre Workshop, so there ya go.

This is very, very tempting.
