The explosive first trailer has been unveiled for Assassin's Creed.
Michael Fassbender heads an all-star cast featuring Marion Cotillard, Michael K Williams, Ariane Labed, Jeremy Irons, and Brendan Gleeson in the adaptation of the video game series.
The games have sold well over 70 million copies in less than ten years, and the movie will expand on the series' mythology with a brand new story.
In the movie, directed by Justin Kurzel, Callum Lynch (Fassbender) finds out that his ancestor Aguilar (also played by Fassbender), from 15th century Spain, was an Assassin.
He relives his ancestor's memories to do battle once more with the Templars, this time in the modern day.

Fassbender has admitted that he never once played the video game before he was cast in the movie, but he's since given it a few goes.
He later went on to say that the movie reminds him of classic 1990s sci-fi The Matrix.
"This idea of DNA memory elevates it from a basic fantasy genre [piece], because you have something an audience can actually believe in," he said.
"Then the journey becomes so much more elevated, because you're on board in a different way."
Assassin's Creed hits cinemas on December 21, 2016.
