Some sick, crazy person thought it was a good idea to have Michael Fassbender spend an entire movie under a giant papier-mâché head, depriving all of us of his face — his glorious, wonderful, sexy, sexy face — for hours. So, while we wait for his face to be in another movie, we wanted to celebrate that punim of his. Here are 22 of his absolutely best faces. More like Michael Face-bender.
