User blog:Master Sima Yi/Assassinews 27-08-'15 – First look at Michael Fassbender in the Assassin's Creed film

Today Yahoo offered a first look at Michael Fassbender in costume as the main character in the upcoming Assassin's Creed film.

Fassbender's character is Callum Lynch, who discovered he's a descendant of Assassins through reliving the life of his ancestor Aguilar in 15th century Spain. After acquiring his ancestor's skills, he's posed to take on the Knights Templar in the modern era.

This confirms rumours that started circulating last year which said the film would take place at the time of the Spanish Inquisition.

The film is slated for release on 21 December 2016.
