In an interview, Fassbender expressed his excitement in starring in the movie. He said he likes the idea and concept of the game.

"'Assassin's,' I'm so happy with," he said. "I can't say anything more, but for a video game, the concept behind it, this idea of DNA memory, it is so interesting." In a previous interview, Fassbender said, "I met up with the guys from Ubisoft and they told me the story behind it, and I thought it was very interesting - the idea of reliving memories.

Fassbender played the Young Magneto in "X-Men: Days of Future Past."

Slated to be released on August 2015, there is no final announcement as to who will direct the movie adaptation of the famous video game. There are rumors, however, that Justin Kurzel will be directing the film.
