New Regency's upcoming film adaptation of Assassin's Creed is reportedly getting a sequel, with leading man Michael Fassbender set to return.

According to The Tracking Board, the studio is "officially underway with plans" for a followup movie, which will once again be produced by Fassbender and Conor McCaughan through DMC Films. Jean-Julien Baronnet from Ubisoft Motion Pictures and Frank Marshall from Kennedy-Marshall Company will also produce.

Assassin's Creed stars Fassbender as Callum Lynch, a descendent of a long line of secret assassins, who inhabits the memories of his ancestor Aguilar and travels to 15th century Spain. While the film isn't directly based on any pre-existing story, it does share the same universe as the Assassin's Creed games.

Justin Kurzel directed the game-to-movie adaptation, which wrapped filming back in January and opens in theaters on December 21, 2016. According to Fassbender, Assassin's Creed draws influence from The Matrix, as "the idea of DNA memory elevates it from a basic fantasty genre [story]."
