In the Assassin's Creed film, which actor plays the modern-day character Callum Lynch?
Answer
Michael Fassbender
In the Assassin's Creed film, Michael Fassbender plays the modern-day character Callum Lynch.
Callum Lynch is a descendant of Aguilar de Nerha, an Assassin active in fifteenth-century Spain. Through the Animus, Callum relives Aguilar's genetic memories and becomes involved in the conflict between the Assassins and the Templars.
Fassbender serves as the film's lead actor and also produced the movie. The cast includes Marion Cotillard as Sophia Rikkin, Jeremy Irons as Alan Rikkin, and Ariane Labed as Maria, an Assassin connected to Aguilar.
The film was released in 2016 and is based on the video-game franchise rather than adapting one particular game's complete plot. Fassbender therefore plays both the modern protagonist Callum and the historical Assassin Aguilar.
