Hollywood Star Ryan Reynolds Promotes Deadpool Film in Brazil, tease to sign Chelsea legend
Ryan Reynolds, the Hollywood superstar and co-owner of Wrexham AFC, is currently in Brazil for the latest leg of the Deadpool & Wolverine promotional tour. During his visit to Rio de Janeiro, Reynolds made a memorable stop at the iconic Maracanã stadium, where he impressed onlookers, including Red Dragons striker Paul Mullin, by firing home a penalty.
Rubbing Shoulders with Football Legends
Reynolds didn’t explore Rio de Janeiro alone. He was accompanied by former Chelsea and Arsenal defender David Luiz and fellow Brazilian international Pedro, who was part of Brazil’s 2022 World Cup squad. The trio toured the city’s famous landmarks, with Reynolds joking about a potential double swoop on Flamengo for the two football stars.
A Homesick Co-Owner
Despite his busy schedule promoting his latest film, Reynolds hasn’t forgotten about Wrexham. He admitted to feeling “homesick for SToK Racecourse” while touring far from North Wales. His dedication to the club remains evident as he continues to balance his Hollywood career with his responsibilities as a football club co-owner.
Future Plans for Wrexham
Looking ahead, Reynolds and his co-chairman Rob McElhenney are committed to supporting Wrexham’s ambitions in the transfer market. They are making funds available to ensure the team can strengthen its squad. With the Red Dragons set for another pre-season tour in North America, more signings could be on the horizon as Phil Parkinson’s side prepares for the 2024-25 campaign.
