What does an actor do when they've been in pretty much every credible indie film of the past decade AND managed to bag roles in a couple of billion dollar franchises?
Well, if you're Oscar Isaac you hit the stage of course. The Star Wars: The Force Awakens star is set to play Hamlet in an off-Broadway adaptation of the classic.
Staged at The Polonsky Shakespeare Centre, the production will see Isaac return to the stage in serious thespian style - and we aren't talking a sprawling theatre here.
Theatre for a New Audience is a programme that stages reworkings of Bard classics at the rather intimate Polonsky Shakespeare Center. It draws quite the cultured crowd though, hence Isaac's casting.
Not that the Juilliard-trained actor (that's like New York's version of RADA) is new to working some Shakespearean magic - Isaac has previously worked on productions of Romeo and Juliet and The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
You'll have to wait until 2017 to see the actor show you some Hamlet.
What to Read Next
Film-wise, Isaac will next be seen on screen as the titular villain in the eagerly-awaited X-Men: Apocalypse.
Meanwhile, Isaac and Ex-Machina director Alex Garland are reuniting on a new project.
