'Assassin 33 A.D.' centers on a group of young scientists led by Kabil (played by Johnny Rey Diaz) and Ahmed (played by Gerardo Davila) who, after being funded by a billionaire to explore matter transfer, discover the secrets of time travel. Their mission takes a dangerous turn when they learn the project is backed by a militant extremist group aiming to alter historical religious events by proving Jesus never rose from the dead. Trivia: 1) Johnny Rey Diaz, known primarily for his stage theater work, performed many of his own stunts in the series, bringing an authentic physicality to the action sequences. 2) The time travel effects were created using a unique blend of practical and digital effects to achieve a realistic portrayal, which took the effects team over six months to perfect. 3) The casting process was notably intense for the two lead roles, as the director sought actors who could convincingly balance scientific intellect with emotional depth, making Diaz and Davila stand out during auditions.
