Hollywood A-listers Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have set their sights on an extraordinary footballing journey, with ambitions to propel Wrexham AFC from League Two to the Premier League. The dynamic duo, who took over the Welsh club in 2021, have already transformed its fortunes—but their vision stretches far beyond immediate success.
From Hollywood to the Football League
Since acquiring Wrexham, Reynolds and McElhenney have injected star power, investment, and global attention into the historic club. Their documentary series, Welcome to Wrexham, has further amplified the team's profile, turning local matches into must-watch events.
The Premier League Dream
In a recent interview, the pair revealed their long-term aspirations. "We want to take Wrexham as far as it can go," said McElhenney. "The Premier League is the ultimate goal—it might take time, but we're committed to the journey."
Reynolds echoed the sentiment, adding: "This isn’t just a passion project; it’s about building something sustainable and extraordinary for the fans and the community."
Challenges Ahead
While their ambitions are sky-high, the road to the top tier won’t be easy. Wrexham must navigate the competitive landscape of English football, balancing financial prudence with strategic growth. However, with Hollywood backing and a devoted fanbase, the club’s future looks brighter than ever.
Could Wrexham become the next fairytale story in football? Only time will tell—but with Reynolds and McElhenney at the helm, anything seems possible.
