“Assassin’s Creed” / 「アサシン クリード」, Original Japanese Movie Poster 2017, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) F256

This is an original Japanese B2 theatrical poster printed for the Japanese release of Assassin’s Creed / 「アサシン クリード」, the science-fiction action adventure starring Michael Fassbender.

Based on the globally successful video game franchise, Assassin’s Creed blends historical adventure, genetic memory, secret societies, parkour action, and futuristic science fiction. This Japanese poster is especially striking, using the series’ iconic “Leap of Faith” imagery in a dramatic inverted composition.

Film background
Originally released in 2016 and released in Japan in 2017, Assassin’s Creed follows Callum Lynch, a modern-day prisoner who is forced to access the genetic memories of his ancestor, Aguilar de Nerha, an Assassin active in 15th-century Spain. Through the Animus, Callum relives Aguilar’s past and gains the skills needed to confront the Templar Order in the present.

The film was directed by Justin Kurzel, from a screenplay by Michael Lesslie, Adam Cooper, and Bill Collage. The cast includes Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Brendan Gleeson, Charlotte Rampling, and Michael K. Williams.

The film was a major video-game adaptation of the period and remains notable for its large-scale historical production design, physical stunt work, and distinctive visual approach to the Assassin’s Creed mythology.

Poster design
The Japanese poster uses a dramatic vertical composition centred on the franchise’s signature Leap of Faith. The assassin is shown falling upside down through a cloudy, sunlit sky, arms extended and hidden blades drawn, creating a strong sense of motion and danger.

At the top of the poster, the architecture is inverted, with the richly detailed stone structure of a historic cathedral looming above the falling figure. This disorienting perspective gives the design a powerful visual link to the film’s themes of memory, history, and descent into the past.

The principal Japanese tagline reads:

「歴史の迷宮に潜り込め。」
“Dive into the labyrinth of history.”

At the very top, 「マイケル・ファスベンダー」 is printed in clean white katakana. The lower right is anchored by the Japanese title 「アサシン クリード」, rendered in sharp white and crimson lettering, with the original English ASSASSIN’S CREED logo beneath. Official social media and production credit lines are printed neatly along the bottom margin.

The overall design is cinematic, atmospheric, and highly evocative of modern Japanese poster art for large-scale action and video-game adaptations.
