As reported by The Wrap, Marc Anthony has joined the cast of In The Heights, the movie adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony-winning pre-Hamilton musical. The news actually came from Miranda himself, who revealed the casting announcement on Twitter and noted that he couldn’t “hold it in anymore.” Anthony will be playing the father of Sonny, the character played by Gregory Diaz IV, which Miranda says is a “brief but pivotal role.” That means we won’t be seeing a ton of Marc Anthony, but at least he’ll be doing something pivotal.
