Sure thing, let me dive into this tangled mess.

Okay, so there’s this guy Matt Ryan, right? Not the quarterback—different dude. He’s the voice behind Edward Kenway from Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. You know, that slightly infamous pirate game from, what, 2013? Time flies. Anyway, Ryan lets slip at a, um, fan convention or something that maybe, just maybe, there’s a reason to dust off Black Flag for round two. Cue the fan chaos. Naturally, it spins off into wild speculation about a remake, remaster—or maybe just nothing at all. But here’s the kicker: Ubisoft, the big cheeses behind Assassin’s Creed, aren’t exactly thrilled. Legal threats? Oh yeah, flying around like confetti.
So, picture this: TikTok user kylo_hd659 (no clue why that handle, but hey, not judging) posts a video at Comic Con Manchester. There stands Ryan at his signing table, being all chatty Cathy. Some poor soul brings up the whole Black Flag remake whisper, and Ryan? Unknowingly on candid camera, spilling beans left and right. He goes, “The thing is…”—I imagine the kind of pause that stretches a mile—“…someone was filming me with their phone. No clue I was being recorded.” Classic oops moment. And now Ubisoft’s breathing down his neck, probably wagging their legal finger.
During this tête-à-tête, Ryan actually points at the camera. Maybe he’s learned? Or just resigned to being the accidental harbinger of secrets. Either way, it’s a slick move to be all, “Hey, quit bugging me.” Did they stop? Probably not.
On another note, Ryan’s been Constantine for DC Comics across various shows over the years. Oh, and side plea to James Gunn: bring back Ryan if you’re doing anything Constantine-ish in the future DC movieverse, just for kicks.
Anyway, that’s the whirlwind. Maybe there’s a point here somewhere, but hey—story’s still unfolding, right?
