Ahead of the release of Macbeth in October, actor Jack Reynor has said he thinks his co-star Michael Fassbender has set a new standard with his performance as the Scottish leader in the Shakespearean adaptation. 

In a new behind-the-scenes interview released by the makers of the film, Reynor, who plays Malcolm, said that Fassbender is not afraid of anything as a performer.

"He dives in, and that's amazing, and that's exactly the way he's approached this project as well," he said. 

"He owns the character so much; I think it'll be difficult for people not to picture Michael's face when they think of Macbeth after this film is released," he added.

This new adaptation of the Shakespearean tragedy is directed by Justin Kurzel (Snowtown), with Marion Cotillard playing Lady Macbeth.

The cast also includes Paddy Considine, David Thewlis, Sean Harris and Elizabeth Debicki. 

Macbeth will be released in cinemas on October 2.
