"Michael Fassbender will be playing a death row inmate named Michael Lynch (In the present) who will be a pawn in the war between the Templar's and Assassins. He will be taken by Abstergo and be tested on with The Animus by an evil scientist named Joesph. He will also have a relationship with an Abstergo assistant named Lara (Who will also have a past ancestor as well). Fassbender will also be playing Lynch's Assassin ancestor named Aguilar de Agarorobo. Elements from Assassins Creed 2: Discovery will be used in the film with Tomas de Torquemada being the past antagonist. Aguilar de Agarorobo father will also be an assassin chief instead of Ezio Auditore's father."

I hope as well that the movie will be canon, but i doubt it
