Fassbender brings video game to life with new sci-fi film

As Michael Fassbender wields a sword, a gift from a Chinese fan, the two-time Oscar nominee looks like he is reliving his role in Assassin's Creed.

The Hollywood star known for playing Magneto in the X-Men movies in China recently toured Beijing to promote his upcoming sci-fi film, which is based on French publisher Ubisoft's video games.

The star quickly won hearts as he went from sampling local food to singing a birthday song for a Chinese fan.
