10 Dream Video Game Movie Castings We'd Die For

3. Ezio Auditore - Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Thanks to the overwhelmingly disappointing Michael Fassbender Assassin's Creed movie, that completely disregarded all of the games and surrounding lore, the probability of seeing another film based on the Ubisoft property is rather low.

Though, if another stab were to be had at it and it was decided that the character of Ezio were to be a part of the story, then Aaron Taylor-Johnson should be the one to play the assassin.

It's a rather odd choice, sure, but the main reason why Taylor-Johnson would be great is because of his performance as the most underrated MCU character: Quicksilver. This performance saw him as a charismatic hero, one who would quip when appropriate and be serious when necessary - such charisma being incredibly well-suited to portraying a Renaissance man like Ezio.

Plus, the facial hair he sported during Age of Ultron made him look particularly like the AC Brotherhood incarnation of Ezio, so there's that also.
