TDKR's Marion Cotillard Joins Michael Fassbender In ASSASSIN'S CREED
New Regency & Ubisoft's big-screen adaptation of the popular video game, Assassin's Creed, has added Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception) to the cast in an undisclosed role. She joins her Macbeth co-star Michael Fassbender, who'll play the lead.
According to Deadline, the brilliant Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception) will join Michael Fassbender in the big-screen adaptation of video game series, Assassin's Creed. Her role is apparently under wraps, but if recent rumors are to be believed, she could well be playing a female assassin named Lara who gives Fassbender's character a helping blade. Speaking of which, the X-Men: Days Of Future Past actor is rumored to be playing two roles: a death row inmate named Michael Lynch in present day, and an assassin named Aguilar de Agarorobo in the time of the Spanish Inquisition. None of that has been confirmed however. Justin Kurzel (Macbeth) will direct, with a script from Adam Cooper and Bill Collage. Assassin's Creed is scheduled to be released in 3D on December 21, 2016.
