Hollywood star and Wrexham AFC co-owner Ryan Reynolds continues to inject his signature humor into the football world. This time, he’s brought a piece of Hollywood to the Racecourse Ground, the home of Wrexham AFC.
The Deadpool Suit Makes an Appearance
Fans visiting the SToK Cae Ras Stadium were treated to an unexpected surprise: the iconic Deadpool suit now has a home in Wrexham. Reynolds shared the news on social media, playfully thanking Marvel for allowing the addition of a “new Welsh Deadpool Corps member” in the upcoming film. The suit, affectionately named “WelshPool,” has been mounted on display in the Centenary Club, much to the delight of supporters.
A Hilarious “Accident”
Reynolds’ post detailed the humorous journey of how the suit made its way to Wrexham. According to him, the suit “accidentally” disappeared from the film set and somehow ended up at the stadium, professionally mounted, despite it breaking several “wrules and wregulations.” The unveiling of WelshPool was an unexpected highlight during Reynolds’ recent visit to the stadium.
Paul Mullin’s “Contractual Obligation”
In classic Reynolds fashion, the actor couldn’t resist a jab at Wrexham’s star striker, Paul Mullin. He joked that Mullin is now “contractually obliged” to wear the Deadpool suit at all times, living inside a “harshly lit, airless glass box” because he didn’t pay enough attention to his contract, particularly the parts Reynolds claimed to have written “in crayon.”
Ryan Reynolds continues to bring a blend of Hollywood flair and comedic genius to Wrexham AFC, keeping the club’s atmosphere light-hearted and entertaining. The addition of WelshPool to the stadium is not just a nod to Reynolds’ role as Deadpool but also a testament to his unique and engaging way of connecting with Wrexham fans. As the season progresses, supporters can expect even more surprises from their co-owner, who never misses an opportunity to make football just a little more fun.
