“But impossible is our favorite color”: Ryan Reynolds Narrowly Misses Hollywood Ending for Wrexham AFC as Deadpool Star’s Team Crashes Out from FA Cup
Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are learning the vernaculars of British football by taking over the National League side with their Welsh team Wrexham A.F.C. since 2020. In a recent match on 29th January against Sheffield United, Ryan Reynolds’ team Wrexham A.F.C. almost missed the Hollywood ending by a tie. Man of the match Paul Mullin was disappointed by the last moment turn of events from Sheffield United.
Ryan Reynolds’ team almost crashes out of the FA Cup after the 3-3 score on the board. After taking over the club for $2.5 million, Reynolds and McElhenney might need to learn the vernaculars for disappointment if Wrexham fails to pull the FA Cup in the replay round.
Overview of Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham A.F.C. vs Sheffield United match
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were forced into anguish after their team Wrexham A.F.C. faced a draw of 3-3 score against Sheffield United. Wrexham has become a fifth-tier club and one of the lowest-ranking teams in the soccer knockout competition. However, Wrexham also has great achievement history while it was still a second and third-tier club.
Under Reynolds and McElhenney’s ownership, Wrexham A.F.C. was almost close to the FA Cup fifth round until the last moment when John Egan popped from Sheffield United to shatter their dreams. Sheffield United was set to reach the Premier League for the next season by rocking the Racecourse Ground. The supporters as well as the team owners found the ending quite cruel on Wrexham’s end.
Yesterday’s Wrexham vs Sheffield United match was a nail-biting one. The former team battled from conceding after losing two defenders. While the latter faced a red card which was given to Daniel Jebbison. The intensity of the match made the Deadpool star rush out of his seat letting out an almighty roar after the game ended in a draw rather than a loss.
Ryan Reynolds is denied the Hollywood ending after a forced replay round
Although the Hollywood star imagined a better ending and his team’s Paul Mullin had the idea that they deserved to win, somehow supporters and owners seemed to settle for the draw over a loss. Reynolds and McElhenney bought the team with excitement and expectations, however, their decision seemed to be disastrous after yesterday’s match.
The match started well on Wrexham’s end with James Jones and Thomas O’Connor scoring two goals within the first 11 minutes. However, soon the golden dream of winning was shattered by Oli Norwood from Sheffield United after he scored equal to Wrexham. But again Reynolds’ team seemed to have better luck, for Daniel Jebbison’s red card moment bought them some time to score the third goal from Paul Mullin in the 86th minute. But the ultimate turn of events happened when John Egan scored a goal in the 95th minute from Sheffield United forcing a replay.
After the game Ryan Reynolds took to Twitter to express his feelings “impossible is Wrexham A.F.C.’s favorite color. That was one of the most exciting things I’ve EVER seen.” He added, “Thank you each and every Wrexham supporter who came out and aimed your heart at that pitch tonight.”

Although the final plot twist was the FA Cup saving attempt from Sheffield United, the Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds missed the Hollywood ending by a score. Maybe a bit of better luck to him and his team during the replay.
