AC Black Flag Resynced actor Matt Ryan ‘would love’ to play Edward Kenway in live-action
Matt Ryan, the voice actor behind Edward Kenway in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, has expressed enthusiasm about portraying the character in a live-action film adaptation. Ryan reprised his role for Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, marking his return after more than a decade. The resynced version features newly written scenes and missions with fresh motion-captured performances and re-recorded dialogue.
When asked about live-action adaptation possibilities, Ryan stated he would eagerly pursue such an opportunity. The statement emerges as Ubisoft continues exploring diverse formats for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, balancing video game narratives with Hollywood production. Black Flag remains a fan-favorite entry, celebrated for its pirate-themed storytelling and expansive open-world gameplay.
The Resynced release demonstrates Ubisoft’s ongoing commitment to revitalizing classic titles while retaining original voice talent—a strategy that maintains character continuity while refreshing gameplay experiences. Ryan’s interest in extending his portrayal to live-action suggests potential alignment between gaming and film divisions, though any such project would require significant development and strategic planning within Ubisoft’s entertainment portfolio.
