First Look at Michael Fassbender in ASSASSIN'S CREED Movie

We've been hearing about Michael Fassbender's Assassin's Creed movie for years, and today we finally get our first look at Fassbender as a character named Callum Lynch. This is an original character that is not from any of the video games in the franchise. 

The actor sure does look great in his costume. It pretty much looks like what I expected we would see. The photo comes from 20th Century Fox and New Regency, and they also released an official description for the film:

Through a revolutionary technology that unlocks his genetic memories, Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) experiences the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. Callum discovers he is descended from a mysterious secret society, the Assassins, and amasses incredible knowledge and skills to take on the oppressive and powerful Templar organization in the present day.

So even though the main character has a new name, it sounds like the film will still follow the story and concept of the game. I'm a fan of this franchise, and with the talent involved with bringing it to life on the big screen, it might just turn out to be as awesome as we hope it will be. 

The movie also stars Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises), and it's being directed by Justin Kurzel (Snowtown, Macbeth). Production is set to begin this coming Monday, and it will shoot in Malta, London, and Spain.
