Knife to See You! Here's a First Look at the Assassin's Creed Movie

Assassin's Creed is an absolutely colossal brand these days, so of course there's a movie in the works. Prometheus thesp Michael Fassbender was signed up what feels like an eternity ago to front the flick, and here's a first glimpse of him kitted out with hoods and hidden knives. The film will begin shooting next week, but unlike Prince of Persia, there'll be no Gemma Arterton this time. Sad emoji.

French actress Marion Cotillard of The Dark Knight Rises fame and 12 Years a Slave star Michael Kenneth Williams will feature instead, with a 21st December 2016 release date touted. The movie's being produced in collaboration between Ubisoft, New Regency, and Warner Bros, and will depict the memories of Aguilar, a 15th Century Spanish assassin.

It's said that the story will play in to the franchise's existing universe, so common sense would suggest that next year's instalment will be set in España. What do you think of Fassbender's outfit? Do you think that this film's going to deliver? Pull up your hood and let us know in the comments section below.
