Yahoo has the first look at Michael Fassbender playing Callum Lynch in the upcoming Assassin's Creed film. If you're left wondering just who Callum Lynch is and how he fits into the game's storylines, don't try to think too hard. Lynch is an entirely new character and the movie does not directly correlate to any of the existing games.

Lynch discovers he is a descendant of the secret Assassins society through unlocked genetic memories that allow him to relive the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. After gaining incredible knowledge and skills he’s poised to take on the oppressive Knights Templar in the present day.

Filming on Assassin's Creed is slated to begin this coming Monday.
