Oh man, so there’s this actor, Matt Ryan, who played Edward Kenway in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. Might’ve said something he shouldn’t have—or maybe not? Depends on who you ask, I guess. Anyway, he told a fan they might wanna dust off their consoles for another go at this 2013 pirate adventure. Kind of made a splash, especially when he spilled the beans at some convention. Imagine saying too much and then bam, Ubisoft’s breathing down your neck. Legal stuff’s no joke.
So, there’s this TikTok (gotta love TikTok for keeping us in the loop, right?) where a user, kylo_hd659, caught Ryan chatting away at Comic Con Manchester. Here’s Ryan, signing autographs, probably in his element, talking all things Black Flag. And then whoops—didn’t realize someone was filming the whole thing. Classic. Now it seems he’s in a bit of a jam with Ubisoft. Threats of a lawsuit for spilling secret beans? Rough. Ryan kinda clammed up after that, not wanting to poke the bear any further. Can’t blame him.
At one point, he even points at the camera like, “Yep, caught this time. Not again.” Maybe it’s like a clever way to signal everyone to zip it about something—before more unwanted drama rolls through. We’re still waiting to hear what Ubisoft thinks about all this. They’re probably typing up something official right now. Or maybe not. Who knows.
Aside from all the Assassin’s Creed drama, Ryan’s been busy running around as John Constantine. Supernatural detective vibes in shows like Legends of Tomorrow, and animated stuff, too. If James Gunn’s reading this (you never know who’s lurking on the Internet), bring Ryan back in the new DC films, alright? Do it for all of us Constantine fans, pretty please.
