Man, so check this out. Matt Ryan — yeah, the dude who brought Edward Kenway to life in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag — drops a hint that got fans all excited about maybe diving back into that 2013 pirate adventure. So, picture this: he’s at some convention, signing stuff for fans, and casually tosses out this nugget that folks gobbled up as a sign of a possible remake or remaster. But turns out, oops, Ryan maybe shouldn’t have spilled those beans. Seems like Ubisoft was breathing down his neck, ready to throw lawyers his way once videos of this chat started popping up online. Wild, right?
So, there was this TikTok — by kylo_hd659, if you’re wondering — that captured Ryan at Comic Con Manchester. He’s there, doing his thing at the signing table, when the talk shifts to Black Flag. Then Ryan mentions not knowing he was being recorded when he said what he said, and now? Yep, Ubisoft’s got him zipped up tighter than a drum. “Someone was filming, and I got too real without even knowing,” Ryan says. “Now the company’s like, ‘We might sue you.’ So my lips are sealed.”
And here’s the kicker: Ryan points at the camera during this whole exchange, signaling he’s learned his lesson for sure. Guess that’s one surefire way to make it blatantly clear — like, seriously folks, stop prying about things I shouldn’t even hint at! We’re trying to get a word from Ubisoft, but who knows if they’ll chime in with anything juicy later on.
Now, Ryan hasn’t been in Assassin’s Creed or gamed since his Black Flag days. Dude’s been busy rocking the John Constantine role in a bunch of DC Comics stuff — from live-action in Legends of Tomorrow to animated flicks. Hey, James Gunn, just saying: if Constantine’s coming back to DC Universe on the big screen, throw Ryan a bone, will ya? Pretty please, from me to you.
