Michael Fassbender has admitted that he is excited about taking on the role of Rochester is a new movie adaptation of Jane Eyre.
The Inglourious Basterds star is all set to appear alongside Alice In Wonderland actress Mia Wasikowska in the Cary Joji Fukunaga directed movie.
In an interview with Empire Fassbender said: "I was close to doing Wuthering Heights a couple of years ago, And you don't get Heathcliff, Rochester has got to be second on the list.
"It's a great role, there are so many layers to him. He's been hurt, and there's cruelty to him which I look for ward to exploring.
"And Mia is such a great talent; she's going to be a big star."
Fassbender has really mixed and matched his roles over the last twelve months moving from the war movie Inglourious Basterds to Andrea Arnold British movie Fish Tank, which won rave reviews.
His first venture onto the big screen this year comes in the form of Centurion, which is directed by Neil Marshall, and follows the Ninth legion's battle with the Picts.
