In fact, after two years of trying to find the right filmmaker to take it forward and repeated re-writes of the script, it was Michael Fassbender who asked director Justin Kurzel and Marion Cotillard, both of whom he’d just worked with on Macbeth, to join him on Assassin’s Creed.
It’s no surprise that Michael Fassbender wants to continue on with Assassin’s Creed, as he’s been involved with the franchise since back in July 2012 when he originally signed up to both star and co-produce the film.
They’d both agreed to do so by February, 2015, and now we’re just a few days away from it being released.
