Michael Fassbender has another film to add to the resume!
The actor is starring in the upcoming Macbeth, a cinematic adaptation of William Shakespeare’s play.
Macbeth retells the classic story of Macbeth [Fassbender], the Duke of Scotland – a celebrated warrior who turns to murder in order to become King, after he comes across a trio of witches who [by way of prophecy] claim they will wear the crown.
Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard also stars in the film as Lady MacBeth, who urges her husband to fulfill his ‘destiny’ – a desicion that starts the two on a dark and destructive path.
Rounding out the Macbeth cast are such names as Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby (2013), The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) as Lady Macduff, Sean Harris (Prometheus, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation) as Macduff, David Thewlis (Harry Potter, The Theory of Everything) as King Duncan, Paddy Considine (The World’s End, Child 44) as Banquo, and also Jack Reynor (Transformers: Age of Extinction, Jungle Book: Origins) as Malcolm.
Macbeth opens in select U.S. theaters on December 4th, 2015.
