Re: Securities
Registered under Registration Statement on Form S-3
We have acted as counsel to
you in connection with your filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-288616) (as amended or supplemented,
the “Registration Statement”) filed on July 10, 2025 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the registration of the offering by
Century Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) of up to $200,000,000 of any combination of securities
of the types specified therein. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission on January 9, 2026. Reference is made
to our opinion letter dated July 10, 2025 and included as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We are delivering this supplemental
opinion letter in connection with the sales agreement prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) filed on March 26,
2026, by the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act. The Prospectus Supplement relates to the
offering by the Company of up to $150,000,000 in shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001
per share (“Common Stock”) covered by the Registration Statement. The Shares are being offered and sold by the sales agent
named in, and pursuant to, the Sales Agreement, dated July 1, 2022, by and between the Company and such sales agent.
We have reviewed such documents
and made such examination of law as we have deemed appropriate to give the opinion set forth below. We have relied, without independent
verification, on certificates of public officials and, as to matters of fact material to the opinion set forth below, on certificates
of officers of the Company.
For purposes of the opinion
set forth below, we have assumed that the Shares are issued for a price per share equal to or greater than the minimum price authorized
by the Company’s board of directors prior to the date hereof (the “Minimum Price”) and that no event occurs that causes
the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance by the Company to be less than the number of then unissued Shares
that may be issued for the Minimum Price.
For purposes of the opinion
set forth below, we refer to the following as “Future Approval and Issuance”: (a) the approval by the Company’s board
of directors (or a duly authorized committee of the board of directors) of the issuance of the Shares (the “Approval”) and
(b) the issuance of the Shares in accordance with the Approval and the receipt by the Company of the consideration (which shall not be
less than the par value of such Shares) to be paid in accordance with the Approval.
Century Therapeutics, Inc.
March 26, 2026
Page 2
The opinion set forth below
is limited to the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Based on the foregoing, we
are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized and, upon Future Approval and Issuance, will be validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable.
This opinion is being furnished
to you for submission to the Commission as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the Shares (the
“Current Report”), which is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. We hereby consent to the filing of this
opinion letter as an exhibit to the Current Report and its incorporation by reference and the reference to our firm in that report. In
giving our consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities
Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ GOODWIN PROCTER LLP
