Well if this source is reliable (never heard of Film Divider until today) I hope the movie is in a divergent timeline given if it is canon it'd be awkward given the film is unlikely to acknowledge Juno or the Animus/Helix consoles. I'd have worked the story around Fassbender's German ancestry and set it during the Reformation, but eh well, as long as he's not embarassing himself by playing Altair.
