In terms of today’s story, the Assassin’s Creed franchise in the world of movies hasn’t shared the same level of success as its video game counterpart. Which is obviously why we’ve only had one big cinematic release, you know, that one starring Michael Fassbender aka Magneto?
Still, the failings of the 2016Assassin’s Creedmoviehaven’t stopped fans from fantasy casting Chris Hemsworth as Edward Kenway and to be honest, we think he’s a perfect choice. Though it’s a shame that this movie may never happen, at least officially anyway.
