The Hollywood actor stars alongside Marion Cotillard in the new movie, which is based on the video-game series and actor has admitted to being completely oblivious to the wretched record of cross-over films, reported Digital Spy.

Fassbender said he would actually feel under more pressure if previous cross-over movies had been critical and commercial successes.
