“Assassin's Creed” movie could be 1st part of a trilogy: Michael Fassbender

PanARMENIAN.Net - The latest video game movie to hit the big screens, Assassin's Creed, arrives on January 1 and it might just be the first part of a trilogy, Digital Spy said.

Chatting exclusively to Digital Spy, star Michael Fassbender, who plays present-day convict Callum Lynch and his 15th-century ancestor Aguilar, teased this might not be the last we see of Cal.

"We had an idea of what would happen over three stories, basically, when we were starting this one," he told us. "It'll be a different time zone, for sure. A different regression."

Spanning different time periods and locations is a big part of the game so it's possible we'll see Cal returning to another place and time via the animus.

Fassbender has always been a big history fan so this angle was a part of the appeal.

"History was always one of my favourite subjects at school. I really enjoy this exploration of history," he said.

"What's fun about the history element of it as well - and this is something we did with the Spanish Inquisition - is: we all have an idea of what happened in that period of time; it seemed to be some sort of religious cleansing, the Spanish Inquisition.

"But what's fun is when you put a little slant on it. Actually, Templars and Assassins were at work behind the scenes there, and there was something political that was going on behind that façade. That's fun to play with."

In Assassin's Creed the ancient alliance of Assassins are committed to preventing the Knights Templar from obtaining an artefact which could be the key to man's free will.

Assassin's Creed opens in cinemas on January 1.
