Scheduled to hit the movie theaters on December 26, 2016, the first "Assassin's Creed" film adaptation casts Michael Fassbender as the lead actor. But when asked about his own opinion, the actor seemed a bit evasive and not so fond about Aguilar.

Michael Fassbender is one of the most popular actors of the decade. His portrayal of Magneto in "X-Men" film series, as well as a sentient android in the science fiction movie "Prometheus," has launched him to greater heights of stardom.

Though the depiction of the 15th-century assassin Aguilar guarantees another memorable role in his career, he expresses reservations about the character's significance in the lives of spectators. As far as Michael Fassbender is concerned, Aguilar stands in the 'moral gray area' that serves as a mediocre standard if one should view life's epic struggles in the linear good and evil spectrum.

An article published by Bleeding Cool highlights the very words of Michael Fassbender during his exclusive interview. "This is very ambiguous morally. Both of these parties - the Templars and the Assassins - are hypocritical at certain points" he said and added rhetorically, "Should I be backing this character?"  

Michael Fassbender might have few good words to say about Aguilar, he nevertheless conveyed his positive experience of the production in an interview featured in ABC News. One of the things he likes the most about "Assassin's Creed" is the concept of DNA memory, wherein the knowledge and experience of a distant ancestor are vividly learned and felt by a contemporary progeny.

The "Assassin's Creed" videogame franchise is one of the best creations of Ubisoft Entertainment. Unfortunately, the developers are currently on hiatus regarding the continuation of the game. As featured in an article published by Jobs & Hire, the game developers have temporarily put the "Assassin's Creed" sequel on hold to pave the way for the early release of "Watchdogs 2."
