A Marvel meeting of epic proportions is coming to the West End next year. First Sigourney Weaver – we won't apologise for loving The Defenders – then Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell, and now Captain Marvel herself, Brie Larson.

Next January, The Room and Lessons in Chemistry star is set to maker her West End debut in a revival of Sophokles's Elektra.

Larson will sit at the centre of this timeless tragedy, adapted by poet Anne Carson and directed by Daniel Fish. It follows Elektra's bitter struggle for justice after her father Agamemnon is murdered and her brother Orestes returns to mourn, but as can be expected from a Greek tragedy, revenge and bloodshed soon ensues.

The show is getting its first major London staging in over a decade, having last been performed by Kristin Scott Thomas in 2014. It will first run at Brighton's Theatre Royal before heading over to the Duke of York's Theatre for a limited West End run.

Following the announcement, Larson said: "I couldn’t be more excited to perform in this Greek drama, or in better company collaborating with Daniel Fish and Anne Carson.

"Storytelling has always been the way I organise life, feelings and experiences. I look forward to sharing space with the wonderful West End audience while we explore this timeless story.”
