Magneto will be killing evil Templars in the upcoming Assassin’s Creed movie.
Michael Fassbender—the actor who played the Master of Magnetism in last year’s X-Men prequel movie—has signed up to be the lead star in the film adaptation of Ubisoft’s historical action games.
The Variety article where news of Fassbender’s casting broke describes the move as follows:
Plot revolves around a man who learns his ancestors were trained assassins after he is kidnapped by a secret org with ties to the Knights Templar, and sent back in time to retrieve historical artifacts.
