If you’re a fan of thriller films, David Fincher, or preternaturally pretty men, be advised that the director’s new thriller The Killer, starring Michael Fassbender, is streaming on Netflix starting today.
Fassbender has long been a favorite of ours here at Queerty: Who among us doesn’t remember him dropping trou in the 2011 film Shame? (“Michael, honestly, you can play golf like this with your hands behind your back,” George Clooney told the actor at the Golden Globes.)
Michael Fassbender goes full monty and gives one of his best performances.
Then came the 46-year-old’s memorable roles in the X-Men and Alien franchises and in the films 12 Years a Slave, Steve Jobs, and Assassin’s Creed, among many other screen credits.
Now Fassbender is leading the cast of The Killer, playing an assassin in the middle of a manhunt after a hit-gone-wrong.
Preparing for the film meant training for 10 weeks and getting conversant with sniper rifles. “This is the type of film I was salivating to do,” the actor told Empire in an interview from the set. “There’s suspense and intrigue. A slow drip. I love that kind of movie.”
Social media users, meanwhile, have been salivating over the man himself. With no further ado, we present the highly relatable thirst for Michael Fassbender:

He’s a handsome man and an excellent actor. But sorry, I don’t think he’s hot. Maybe it was his role in Prometheus that ruined it for me. Hard to forget that, and he played it so well.
And then there’s the fact that he reads straight as an arrow.
Yes, FreddieW, Fassebender played the robot David, in Prometheus, right? It was an unnerving performance, and very good.
That said, the two roles that I always remember him for are in: 1 Shame, where, despite being nude a lot of the movie (including full frontal nudity), I was so turned off by Steve McQueen’s moralizing I found Fassbender and the rest of the cast unappealing, nude or not; and 2) in 12 Years a Slave where he played the monstrous racist slaveowner Edwin Epps so well the evil oozed right out of the movie theater’s screen! PURE EVIL!
He’s a very talented actor but not hot to every gay person.
Some of these tweets are too twisted. This man has been accused by an ex-girlfriend of abuse and assault — in real life, not in jokes.
Even if that weren’t the case, a few of those twits would still end up looking like they have some kind of mental illness. They need therapy, at least.
