Macbeth won't be king, his wife will most likely control him when he's on the throne just like she does when he's off. He'll probably be known as a tyrant because she'll be having him behead people left and right. Shakespeare shows, again, how impressionable Macbeth is, when the three witches are making some stew thing and conjuring apparitions. One of them basically tells Macbeth that he shouldn't fear any mortal man, so Macbeth gets all this bravado and is like, "So I don't need to be afraid of anyone? Sweet." and he says that he'll spare Macduff. I could see that backfiring.
