I agree. While Fassbender is a good actor, I am not sure if he could pull off a good Desmond, and I certainly do not want him to play Altair. Get an actual actor with Middle Eastern heritage for that. Making Ezio appear in the first film would be completely stupid too. If they wanted to make a very accurated adaptation, then Assassin's Creed 2 alone would need to be split into two movies, and even then a shit tone of Templar characters would need to be cut, such as all the Pazzi Conspirators, aside from Jacopo and Francesco.

Also, getting Fassbender to play Altair as well would make no sense. Very skeptical. Again, if they had a massive, massive budget, then making the whole movie CGI like the E3 trailers would work better. If the Ezio thing is true, this will probably be another poorly adapted movie of a good game franchise.
