We're really trying to capitalise and feed on and enjoy the fun element. We're working hard to make this something special."
The 38-year-old actor also revealed that more emphasis has been put on practical stunts during the filming of the scenes.
"We have stunt guys jumping across buildings in [Maltese capital] Valletta. We've got [stunt man] Damian Walters doing a 120-foot leap of faith, without any rope, into a bag, so it's pretty incredible to see," Fassbender said.
Besides Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Brendan Gleeson, Callum turner and Michael Kenneth Williams will also join "Assassin's Creed" movie cast.
The movie will be directed by Justin Kurzel of "Macbeth" fame and is scheduled to release on Dec. 21, 2016.
