Macavity/2019 Movie Macavity

Macavity is played by Idris Elba in Cats Movie 2019. We know that Macavity has a much bigger physical presence in the film than onstage, where while he is mentioned throughout the show his role is effectively a cameo for one fight scene. Unlike the stage show, he will sing Macavity:The Mystery Cat  alongside Bombalurina, The Macavity Girls, and quite possibly Demeter.

Idris Elba says this about his character, "''Macavity has only of one his nine lives left, so he's desperate to be acknowledged, and he's slightly unhinged, and he's obviously met death a few times and gotten past it". ''
