Are you looking forward to seeing the Assassin’s Creed movie? If you are, you still have a year to go before it is released, but thanks to Entertainment Weekly, they have managed to get their hands on what appears to be an official still from the upcoming movie, which as you can see in photo above shows Michael Fassbender and Ariane Labed in their costumes.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen photos from the movie, but this would be the first officially released still. Prior to that we only had leaked on-set photos and promo photos. Interestingly enough the report from Entertainment Weekly also revealed that Fassbender had never played the game before taking on the role.

Usually from what we have seen, actors taking part in superhero or video game movies tend to have either read about it or played the game. However Fassbender did eventually get around to playing it because according to him, “I’ve played it since [being offered the job] mainly to get an idea of the physicality of the character. We’re striving to find something special. We believe the whole concept around it is special and want to service that the best we can.”

That being said, movies that are based around video games have certainly gained a pretty bad reputation for turning out horribly, but hopefully Fassbender’s acting chops and Ubisoft’s promise will result in an entertaining film.
