Matt Ryan, the dude who brought life to Edward Kenway in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, kinda spilled the beans—well, sort of, maybe?—suggesting fans might wanna dust off their pirate hats and revisit the 2013 classic. It all happened while signing stuff at a convention, and folks, of course, lost their minds, thinking about a possible remake or whatever. But, surprise, surprise, it seems like Ryan wasn’t exactly supposed to let that slip, and now Ubisoft’s apparently waving around legal threats like a cutlass.
So here’s the scene: Some user on TikTok, goes by kylo_hd659, posted a clip of meeting Ryan at Comic Con Manchester. Mid-chat, the topic of a Black Flag remaster pops up. Ryan, realizing things are getting kind of dicey, backtracks, admitting he didn’t know he was being caught on camera blabbing about it. Oops.
Ryan was all like, “There I was, chatting away, super chill, and then BAM, I find out they’re recording me with their phone,” he said. “Now the company’s ready to drag me to court, so I’m zipping it tight.” Seriously, the way he points to the camera, you can tell he’s definitely more cautious this time. Kinda funny how recording conversations can get you into a pickle, huh?
While Ryan’s stayed away from Assassin’s Creed-ing or gaming post-Black Flag, he’s been busy channeling his inner John Constantine, jumping around in different DC Comics gigs. You’ve probably seen him in shows like Legends of Tomorrow or in animated flicks. Hey, James Gunn, if you ever bring Constantine into the new DC Universe realm, can we get Ryan back? Just a little personal request—thanks a ton!
