Michael Fassbender will star in and co-produce the movie version of Ubisoft’s popular Assassin’s Creed franchise.
Jean-Julien Baronnet, head of Ubisoft Motion Pictures, told Variety that the Prometheus and X-Men: First Class star was the studio’s “first choice” to don the iconic peaked hood. “Michael (Fassbender) is an extremely smart, talented, versatile and committed actor.”
Fassbender will team up with his DMC Film partner Connor McCaughan to bring Ubisoft’s historical-action series to the big screen in a production headed up by Ubisoft Motion Pictures.
It is still unknown which time period or which assassin the film will follow, nor when the film is scheduled to release, but in addition to Assassin’s Creed, Variety reports Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot also wants to develop films for the publisher’s Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon series’.
Who do you think Fassbender will play in the new Assassin’s Creed film?
The Fifth title of the main franchise, Assassin’s Creed III will release on October 30 for PS3, and Xbox360 The Wii U and PC version has no date as yet.

Love it!!!
YES!
He is an awesome actor, I think he will do a good job, hopefully they give him a good script and whatnot
They should start with altair and get someone that fits his profile… He started the series so he should be the first movie!
I totaly agree but they should show Desmond as well in it
yeah your right, and after this one they could make one whit ezio.
Can't wait :D
NO! This better not turn out like fucking resident evil, but i must say good choice in lead role.
what no date??????????????????????????????????????????/ have they not kept up because i heard its going to be 31 for xbox AND playstation
in America 30 other countrys 31
if they are smart they will strictly stick with the dialogue for the most part
from the game
Going to completely suck. He is a pretty good actor and was good in some roles but as the assassin in Assassin's Creed? No. Not a fit at all. Movie makers now days have lost their freakin minds. That's why most movies have sucked lately.
Have you ever seen him play a role like that of an assassin? It's actors jobs to be versatile. Don't judge him for his other roles, and at least give a suggestion as who else could play it.
They should have gotten Wentworth Miller to play Altair. He looks almost exactly like Altair.
I was also thinking that for a long time. He is the most look alike actor who can play Altair and he is a very talented actor.
He could only play Altair. He isn't italian, and actors suck at accents these days, and he isn't half american indian.
Well the guy who voiced Ezio did a pretty good job, and he isn't italian either.
he isn't middle eastern either
Good choice for lead actor.
I thought he was going to be Desmond, but i guess being Altair is cooler
Amazing actor, but I don’t like the idea of a movie on Assassins Creed.
George Cloony will be the best for Sam Fischer in Splinter Cell
Maybe he’ll be Desmond’s dad or something. He looks far too old to be any of the assassins, and just doesn’t resemble any of the main characters to me. Why don’t they just use the guy Desmond was built off of anyways? That way Desmond/Altair/Ezio all have one actor, no need to search for multiple people. They might have to do a voice-over though…
