“I believe you are destined for great things.” That’s shifty-seeming businessman Alan Rikkin (Jeremy Irons) giving his sales-pitch to Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) in the latest trailer for the forthcoming action film Assassin’s Creed, which is based on the best-selling video game series.
Fassbender’s character is probably going to need a good bit of convincing: A career criminal, he’s been recruited into a secret cabal of dangerous warriors, and his new gig requires him to tap into the memories of an ancient relative, so that he can fight in the Spanish Inquisition.
Judging by the latest footage in this new trailer”which includes glimpses of costars Marion Cotillard and Michael K. Williams”Fassbender will get quite the workout in Creed. He leaps from rooftop to rooftop, and either employs or avoids all manner of weapons, including axes, crossbows, arrows, torches, and daggers.
But will the fierce fighter have the stamina, and the wherewithal, to get through the Inquisition without making a single Monty Python joke? We’ll find out when Assassin’s Creed opens this December.
