Bryan Cranston is set to reprise his stage role as President Lyndon B Johnson in the Tony-winning play All the Way. The biopic will follow Johnson during his first year in office after the assassination of John F Kennedy, and also his campaign for re-election and the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
