Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr has apparently agreed to play the role of Leonardo Da Vinci in the upcoming Assassin’s Creed film.
“Huge Assassin’s Creed movie news just dropped recently and it seems like Iron Man Aka Tony Stark Aka Robert Downey Jr is reportedly joining the Assassin’s Creed movie cast as Leonardo Da Vinci,” states Moviepilot.
According to the website, this casting development sort of hints that the film’s plot might be based on the game’s (Assassin’s Creed II) particular storyline where Leonardo Da Vinci was featured as a friend of Ezio Auditore.
As of now Michael Fassbender is still part of the Assassin’s Creed movie. “Nothing has changed, yeah. I’m still a part of Assassin’s Creed, and we’re working on the script as we speak. Actually, I’m going to go back and see the writers when I get back to Europe,” he said.
