Alright, let’s dive right in—though, where was I going with this? Ah yes, Matt Ryan. Now here’s a curious tale from Comic Con Manchester. Picture this: Matt Ryan, you know him, right? The guy we enjoyed in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag—Edward Kenway himself. Anyway, he’s just chilling at his signing table, and, well, maybe I’d find myself nervously fidgeting if I were there. Anyway, a fan brings up something juicy—a possible remake or remaster of ye olde pirate game.
Ryan, in his relaxed, maybe too-open way, spills something that’s got fans all agog. Seriously, it’s like opening a can of worms he didn’t know was in his lunch. Apparently, he kinda wasn’t supposed to say anything, or maybe he didn’t know the fan was actually filming the whole shebang. Felt like one of those moments when you realize your fly’s been down during an entire conversation—awkward, right?
So, TikTok—a repository of all things unexpected—here comes kylo_hd659 with the video evidence. Ryan, caught off guard, mentions he didn’t realize he was being recorded, which, frankly, is a rookie mistake. Somewhere in the chaos, Ubisoft catches wind and threatens to whip out the legal playbook on our guy. You couldn’t make this up.
The best bit? Ryan turns to the camera, all knowing-like, this time. It’s as if he’s saying, “Caught me once, shame on me.” Sort of a preemptive strike to shut down the rumor mill. No clue if it worked. Oh, and before I wander off into DC territory, let me share: We did try to get a word from Ubisoft. Nothing yet, but imagine getting that call. “Hello, yes? Ubisoft, is that you? Spill?”
Ryan, staying far from the high seas of Assassin’s Creed since Black Flag, found himself more entangled with the supernatural as John Constantine—Legends of Tomorrow, animated flicks, you name it. Just a thought—hey, James Gunn, if you’re cooking up some new DC shindig, maybe slip Ryan in there again? A little John Constantine magic would be fab. Just saying.
Anyway, that’s enough chaos and rambling for now. Til next time, folks.
