As the new Magneto, Michael Fassbender has shown he can bring the murderous rage when required. As seen in Black Swan, Natalie Portman is no stranger to mentally unraveling. So it only feels natural that Fassbender and Portman have signed onto a new adaptation of Macbeth to be helmed by Snowtown director Justin Kurzel. The duo recently co-starred in one of Terrence Malick’s upcoming films set in the Austin music scene, and were set to star together again until the wheels fell off Jane Got A Gun . Now they’ll reunite on an adaptation that Portman has reportedly been eying for a while, even considering taking on stage versions if it meant getting to play Lady Macbeth.
