Not only do we have The Tragedy of Macbeth starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand coming out this December and Saoirse Ronan taking her turn as Lady M, but now we have a Broadway take on the iconic tragedy, and honestly, I can't wait to see DANIEL CRAIG and RUTH NEGGA murder some people.

And in a world where Ultron wins and gets the Infinity Stones, it seems as if everyone has a bit of a different journey to stopping him from succeeding. Including Natasha and Clint Barton.

Things We Saw Today: Daniel Craig Ran Away After Breaking Dave Bautista’s Nose on Bond Set

The moral here is quite simple: Dave Bautista probably won't care if its an accident but that doesn't mean the rest of us are going to risk going toe to toe with him if we accidentally punch him. Daniel Craig might have gotten his knee blown out by Bautista but he was right to turn and run.

First and foremost, despite the image I choose above and the trailer, do not go into Lamb expecting a horror movie. It is best if you go in expecting nothing, but as you are here reading this, I know your curiosity got the better of you.
