Michael Fassbender’s latest movie Black Bag, directed by Steven Soderbergh, has been an overwhelming success with audiences and critics alike. The spy thriller sees Fassbender playing an intelligence agent for the British secret service, which is likely the closest the actor will ever come to playing legendary MI6 agent James Bond. Fassbender did previously audition to play Bond 20 years ago, but, unfortunately for him, Eon Productions decided to go with someone else for the role. Nevertheless, the actor should be proud of his work as a spy in Black Bag, portraying enigmatic NCSC official George Woodhouse.
