Michael Fassbender makes a notable return to acting in 2023 after a four-year break spent racing in Formula One. His recent projects include roles in "The Killer" and "Next Goal Wins," and he stars in his first TV series, "The Agency." His latest film, "Black Bag," is an original spy thriller highlighting character depth. Fassbender expresses excitement about the film's intelligent writing and character dynamics, which he feels are lacking in modern film, particularly in mid-budget ranges, making this project special.
When Fassbender first read the script, "it was a fantastic collection of characters," he said on Zoom. "And it falls into the film demographic that we just don't see a lot of these days. That it was going to get made was exciting. It's hard for film companies to support films in that budget category, there's not many $30 to $40 million films anymore, unfortunately."
He continued, "As I started reading the script: 'Wow, this is smart and funny.' And it moved at a click. The pace at which I was propelled forward by these characters was exciting. And we were in this spy genre: the story wasn't motivated by action set pieces, but rather by the characters' development and interactions, which was refreshing."
