According to Deadline, Irons will be playing Cotillard’s character's father, while Gleeson will portray Fassbender’s - though no additional information about their roles is given.
The story follows Callum Lynch, who "attains the skills of a master assassin after finding out that he is a descendant of a master assassin who was part of a secret society of professional killers".
Justin Kurzel (Snowtown, Macbeth)will direct, and the film also stars Michael Kenneth Williams and Ariane Labed. Assassin's Creed slices its way into theaters on December 21, 2016.
