Robert Downey Jr. signs on for Assassin's Creed movie

[aduman]

in the comic books, "The Avengers" are rotated - so the next trilogy of The Avengers is a new set of heroes

 

the cinematic universe doesn't have to follow the comic books, but the option is on the table still - and a chance to move away from Iron Man/RDJ is a side benefit obviously

 

Lots of fanboys would be mad though but they would still crush the box-office anyway.

Umm...you do realize that RDJ is one of the MOST EXPENSIVE actors in hollywood right now? He's so booked between Sherlock and Avengers and Iron Man that he's literally swimming in money. 

 

If he agreed to this, it was for a reason, and that reason wasn't money.

Maybe he or his family are huge AC fans

meh, the fanboys probably read the comic books, so they would be expecting it to happen sooner or later /shrug

I think RDJ could be a good actor in a assassins creed movie. I think the only problem would be that everyone associates him with iron man.

samuel l jackson would have been a far better choice    

"Now, I have this passage memorized. The Creed of the Assassins 3:14, nothing is true, everything is permitted." I tried, hopefully that makes sense.

so fassbender is playing altiar and RDJ playing da vinci... i dont remember da vinci being alive in 1191.. smells like a real winner

[PortentousLad]

They should cast David Bell http://m.imdb.com/name/nm1042642/

And the actor question isn't really important when it comes to movie adaptions of games. It's all in the execution/writing.

*Cough*

[zacRupnow]

He's too old and short to be a free running slick sexy assassin.

He was a good sherlock holmes though..

If Da Vinci is going to be an Assassin this movie is stupid

[WolfDeville]

He's a fantastic actor with true talent, I have faith he'll please us.
