Tom Hiddleston to make Broadway debut in 'Betrayal'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Tom Hiddleston has gained acclaim for his take on comic book villains and spies, but his latest role won't be on the big screen.
The "Avengers" star will make his Broadway debut later this year, starring in a revival of the Harold Pinter play "Betrayal," according to Deadline. Hiddleston's co-stars in the production include "Daredevil" actor Charlie Cox and British actress Zawe Ashton.
Per the outlet, the aforementioned cast participated in an original run at London's West End earlier this year, and they'll return to the show at New York City's Bernard B. Jacobs Theater this summer for a 17-week run. Previews for "Betrayal" begin August 14, before an official opening date on September 5.
