Michael Fassbender to Star in David Fincher's 'Killer' in Role Brad Pitt Was Once Eyeing

Michael Fassbender is attached to star in David Fincher‘s upcoming assassin drama for Netflix, The Killer.

Fincher has been attached to the project since 2007 and Brad Pitt was originally attached to star at that time.

THR is reporting that the film may actually go into production sometime this year.

The film is being written by Andrew Kevin Walker, the scribe who wrote Fincher‘s hit films Se7en, The Game and Fight Club.

Michael would star as an “assassin who begins to psychologically crack as he develops a conscience, even as his clients continue to demand his skills.”

Michael has not had a movie come out since 2019′s X-Men: Dark Phoenix, so this could be his first major project back!
