So, picture this: you’ve got Matt Ryan, you know, the guy who brought Edward Kenway to life in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. Just casually hinting to some fan at a convention — like, as if he forgot we live in an age where everyone’s got a camera on their phone. Someone uploads this little chat to TikTok, and suddenly, it’s like he kicked a beehive. Ubisoft, the bigwigs behind the game, weren’t exactly thrilled. You know, corporate types and their hush-hush projects.
So, anyway, this TikTok creator, kylo_hd659, shares their Comic Con moment with Ryan. At his signing table, by the way — just a regular day, right? And Ryan’s just like, “Oops,” when he finds out that someone captured him spilling beans about potential Black Flag remaster. Who can blame him, really? But, turns out, Ubisoft wasn’t laughing. They waved the legal hammer at him. Ryan’s response? Zip it.
He literally points at the camera during this exchange — like he’s really trying to say, “Look, not doing this again, alright?” Maybe that’s his way of making it clear: no more surprise recordings, please. Oh, and we tried hitting up Ubisoft for their side of the drama — still waiting to hear back. Holding our breath.
Meanwhile, Ryan’s been pretty busy in DC’s universe — yeah, John Constantine — in pretty much everything they’ve made with the character lately, both in live-action and animated forms. Hey, James Gunn, seriously, if you’re revamping the DC Universe, throw in Ryan for nostalgia’s sake, eh? Just a personal plea!
