Callum Lynch, played by Michael Fassbender, realizes that the only way to “get a second chance” at life, he needs to revisit the Spanish Inquisition as his ancestor. You get a great look at Abstergo Industries, where a lot of other assassins are also being held against their will.
So, Callum enters the Animus and steps into the role of his ancestor, who has been dead for 500 years. He really seems to have adopted the persona of his ancestor, enjoying leaping around and diving off buildings in a new dynamic mode of “life.”
20th Century Fox summarizes the movie as, “Through a revolutionary technology that unlocks his genetic memories, Callum Lynch (Michael Fassbender) experiences the adventures of his ancestor, Aguilar, in 15th Century Spain. Callum discovers he is descended from a mysterious secret society, the Assassins, and amasses incredible knowledge and skills to take on the oppressive and powerful Templar organization in the present day.”
Assassin’s Creed is set to release worldwide on December 21st 2016.
