Noomi Rapace, Ramzy Bedia, Sean Harris and Corrado Invernizzi are the latest to be cast in Netflix’s Assassin’s Creed series adaptation of the popular Ubisoft video game from showrunner and executive producer Robert Patino and David Wiener. They join the previously announced Lola Petticrew, Toby Wallace, Zachary Hart, Laura Marcus, and Tanzyn Crawford.
Assassin’s Creed, the series, is a high-octane thriller centered on the secret war between two shadowy factions — one set on determining mankind’s future through control and manipulation, while the other fights to preserve free will. The series follows its characters across pivotal historical events as they battle to shape humanity’s destiny.
Details regarding the characters Rapace, Bedia, Harris and Corrado will play are under wraps.
