First look of Fassbender in “Assassin's Creed” revealed

The movie version of “Assassin's Creed”, based on the massively popular — and prolific — video-game series of the same name, is set to open in theatres December 21, 2016, and the first look of Michael Fassbender as protagonist Callum Lynch has been revealed. 

Fassbender's character was created specifically for the film, which isn't retelling any of the existing games, but rather introducing new characters into the same world.

Lynch discovers he is a descendant of the secret Assassins society through unlocked genetic memories that allow him to relive the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. After gaining incredible knowledge and skills, he's poised to take on the oppressive Knights Templar in the present day.

Also starring Marion Cotillard, Michael Kenneth Williams and Ariane Labed, cameras start rolling for “Assassin's Creed” on Monday. Filming is set to happen in Malta, London, and Spain.
