He reads it to the public to make them mad.
Mark Antony wanted to rile the crowd up as much as possible before reading the will.
he liked to read!!(:
Antony tells them he has Caesar's Will and the crowd wants Antony to read it.
Marc Antony did not change Caesar's will. At Caesar's funeral he read Caesar's will. Caesar's bequeathed a sum of 300 sesterces to every man in Rome and donated his gardens as public parks. Caesar also adopted Octavian and made him his heir. Mark Antony seized Caesar's money which was held at the temple of Ops. Octavian planned to accept his inheritance. Antony disapproved of this. When Octavian demanded his inheritance Marc Antony, who was the consul (head of the Republic), refused to give it to him, saying that it was public money and that it had been spent in the interests of the Roman state. He also had not disbursed Caesar's promised bequeath to the people Therefore, Octavian paid this bequest out of his own money by selling his estate and borrowing money from friend to humiliate Marc Antony and increase his own popularity. When Octavian forced the senate to nominate him consuls with the use of military threat, he was in a position of political strength with which he could get his inheritance.
During Caesar's funeral, Antony made accusations against the conspirators who were behind Caesar's murder and named and shamed them. He also read Caesar's will which left most of his property to the people. The people became enraged and rioted. Caesar had been very popular with the middle and lower classes. He was seen as the champion of the people.
Yes,its an amazing book and everyone should read it!!!!
They all want Antony to read Caesar's will.
Anticipation
The reason Antony does this is to make the citizens/ the poor to go and against Cassius, Brutus, and the conspirators. :D
First of all it wasn't antony's will it was Caesars will and the excuse that he gave was that he shouldnt read it to them because he didnt want them to enrage against his assasins.
He wants to read it in public.

Nothing. At his funeral Antony was dead, therefore he could not speak. However if you are asking about the funeral oration that Antony made at Caesar's funeral, there is no set translation of his speech only the versions that the ancient writers give us. They all say that Antony inflamed the crowd with his words, which caused the riot and fire and ciaos. Shakespeare gives fictionalize version of Antony's speech in the play Julius Caesar.
