Here’s the first look image of Michael Fassbender in the Justin Kurzel Directed movie adaptation of the Shakespeare play ‘Macbeth’. Fassbender plays the title character in an ensemble cast which includes Marion Cotillard as Lady Macbeth, Elizabeth Debicki as Lady Macduff, David Thewlis and Paddy Considine.
The movie is expected to be released 2015 with the screenplay adapted by Jacob Koskoff, Michael Lesslie and Todd Louiso.
We’re loving this first look image of Fassbender. Give us your thoughts in the comments below.

Is this for Macbeth or Braveheart?
Oh, my God, these posters look nothing short of incredible. I’m sure the
film is going to be amazing and that both Michael Fassbender and Marion
Cotillard will deliver once again unforgettable performances, more than
worthy of an Oscar win. Especially for Marion Cotillard, I mean what
can I say… She is quite simply the best actress of all time. She tops
Katharine Hepburn, she tops Meryl Streep, she tops any woman who ever
attempted to become an actress. Her incomparable talent puts her in a
league of her own and her Oscar win back in 2008 for her incredible
portrayal of Edith Piaf in “La vie en rose” is undoubtedly the most
deserved Oscar win ever for a female actor. I sincerely believe that
with her unmatched work in this fim she truly pushed acting to another
level. Watching her transform into a character is like an otherwordly
experience. She inhabits her each new role so completely it ends up
extremely scary. Every performance of hers is a performance for the
ages. Even her early work in films like “Les jolies choses” or “Fair
play” prove her astonishing ability to to abandon herself into her
characters in a way no actress in the history of cinema can claim she ever
did. A performance of Marion Cotillard is always a marvel to watch and
her performance in “Macbeth”, as well as in James Gray’s “The
Immigrant”, who is about to hit theaters these days in USA, is obviously
another towering tour de force. I wish she gets a certainly more than
deserved second Oscar in 2015 for her performance in James Gray’s film.
