Okay, so picture this. You’re at one of those geeky conventions, you know? The ones where everyone’s dressed like their favorite character (I swear I saw a guy dressed as a walking taco once, don’t ask). Anyway, so there’s this actor, Matt Ryan — you might know him as Edward Kenway from Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag. He’s just chillin’ at a signing table, right?
Out of nowhere, some fan hits him with the big question about a new version of the game. And get this: he hints, kind of cryptically, that, “Hey, maybe you should dust off that game and give it another spin.” And then — bam! The internet goes nuts. All because he dropped a hint, just a tiny, little one. No idea why, but it stuck with people.
So some fan — let’s call them Super Fan 3000 — shares the whole thing on TikTok, and it’s like watching a secret spy movie unravel. Matt’s face at that moment? Priceless. His reaction was kinda like, “Uh, oops! Didn’t realize we were recording this, buddy.” Fast forward, and now Ubisoft’s flashing the legal lights at him. Drama, right?
He makes this funny gesture at the camera, like, “Yeah, I’m onto you now.” It’s almost theatrical, and I suppose that’s one way to tell people to zip it about stuff you’re not supposed to chat about. Ubisoft’s been tight-lipped, though. Maybe they’re plotting. Maybe they’re just having a sip of coffee. Who knows?
But let’s wander down Matt Ryan memory lane. Post-Black Flag, he’s been the dude with the British accent playing John Constantine. You’ve seen him, right? That trench coat is unmistakable. Hey, James Gunn, are you listening? We want our snazzy warlock back in your next big superhero flick. Just a thought. Or maybe a plea. Pick one.
Yeah, so anyway. Or not. I guess this all boils down to keeping your cool and maybe, just maybe, checking if someone’s recording before you spill the beans. Just saying.
