Michael Fassbender is hard at work right now filming his new political thriller, Kennedy, which is in the works at Netflix. The first-look images of Fassbender behind the scenes of the series surfaced online over the weekend, and while the show does not yet have an official release date, it could arrive on streaming before the end of this year. Fassbender will always be known for his blockbuster role in Magneto in Fox’s X-Men movies, but he’s also a two-time Oscar nominee for his performances in 12 Years a Slave and Steve Jobs.
He previously made headlines after taking a four-year hiatus from acting with his return in The Killer, the 2023 David Fincher-directed hitman thriller that was released straight to streaming on Netflix. The film earned 85% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.
