It is on! Micheal Fassbender’s Assassin’s Creed movie is scheduled to hit cinemas on 21 December 2016. What’s more, there is a possibility that Tony Stark himself, aka Robert Downey Jr might appear in the movie not as cameo but as one of the important characters in the Assassin’s Creed flick. According to IGN he will reportedly be portraying Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian Renaissance Era inventor.
In a nutshell, Fassbender will be Desmond Miles, who is a seemingly normal bartender but is kidnapped by a sinister corporation to be inserted into a hi-tech machine called “The Animus”. The machine allows its user to relive their ancestor’s lives via DNA memory, which in this case the company wants to use him to retrieve information on “powerful and dangerous artifacts.”
Fassbender said the Assassin’s Creed film will be respectful of the game but the same time, the actor also pointed out that “we also want to bring new elements to it and perhaps our own vision of things that already exist in the game.”
Sadly the source for IGN’s report, MoviePlot has already been taken down which brings some doubts to whether or not Robert Downey Jr will actually appear in the video game based movie or not. So at this point, take it with a pinch of salt.
Nevertheless, fans of the game might be looking forward to the movie in 2016 especially with the movie sporting said actor is definitely icing on the cake.
