In addition to playing the protagonist Desmond , the actor will also co-produce the film. British writer Michael Lesslie will pen the screenplay. Production will be handled by Ubisoft Motion Pictures in partnership with New Regency, with distribution by 20th Century Fox . Assassin's Creed will premiere three weeks after Avengers 2.
