Earlier today, we learned Michael K. Williams had joined the Ghostbusters cast, and now you can add Assassin's Creed to his filmography as well.
Variety is reporting that Williams, who is best known for playing Chalky White in Boardwalk Empire and Omar Little in The Wire, has landed a role in New Regency's Assassin's Creed movie. No real details were provided as who the 48-year-old actor will be playing in the video game-to-film adaptation, but Variety's sources "tease that his character has a major stake in the franchise."
Williams will co-star alongside Michael Fassbender (X-Men: Apocalypse), Marion Cotillard (The Dark Knight Rises) and Ariane Labed. The film is being directed by Justin Kurzel.
Assassin's Creed will open in theaters December 21, 2016.
