This phenomenal cast includes Magneto/Gandalf as Shakespeare’s famous hunchback king doing battle with Iron Man, Harold Zidler, and Professor McGonagall in his mad grab for power. Putting Shakespeare plays in a modern setting is nothing new, but this top-notch World War II-style version is anything but ordinary.
