You might be tempted to giggle at the idea of a movie about a modern-day man being tugged back in time and experience the memories of a 15th-century Spanish ancestor in order to gain the skills of an assassin and join a centuries-long war, but hear us out. Assassin’s Creed is not only the long-awaited adaptation of a hugely successful video game series, but it’s got one majestic whopper of a cast. Michael Fassbender (who also co-produced) is our main Assassin, Callum Lynch, and he’s aided and abetted by an eclectic collection of stars that includes Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, and Michael K. Williams (otherwise known as Omar from The Wire). Fassbender’s hopeful for a sequel, and we wouldn’t bet against one—or several.
