After being informed that the Assassin’s Creed movie would take place in the same universe but with a different story and characters, we just assumed that it would have little connection to any of the plots present in the video games. However, an interview from Entertainment Weekly says otherwise.
Production armorer Tim Wildgoose talked about how he used in-game assets to help with designing the weapons and armor, while also stating that some of the assassins from the games would be there to use them.
“At the same time, there are assassins from the games in the film as well. In some case, we could directly copy the Ubisoft weapons onto their characters,” Wildgoose said. “There’s basically a few assassins taken straight from the games, who we get to see in the films. We actually get to use some of the real game weapons in there.”
Now it is unclear which assassins will make it into the movie. It could be anyone, from a supporting character to maybe even Ezio, but Wildgoose assures us that “they’re very famous characters that the fans will probably enjoy.” Either way, we will find out once the film drops on December 21, 2016.
