Media reports indicate that Michael Fassbender, who recently starred as Magneto in X-Men: First Class, will star in the upcoming Assassin's Creed movie based on Ubisoft's eponymous IP. It also looks like he will be co-producing the videogame adaptation, which will revolve around a "man who learns his ancestors were trained assassins after he is kidnapped by a secret org with ties to the Knights Templar, and sent back in time to retrieve historical artifacts." Fassbender has proved his mettle in a variety of roles, including that of a Spartan warrior in Zack Snyder's 300, Lt Hicox in Qunetin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds and most recently as David - a creepy Android with a hidden agenda in Ridley Scott's Prometheus. So how about it Assassin's Creed fans, what say you - delighted or distraught?
