Wolverine and Deadpool team up to cheer Wrexham AFC to victory!
On Sunday, actor and Wrexham AFC co-owner Ryan Reynolds mimicked one of the iconic poses Hugh Jackman does as he plays iconic clawed hero Wolverine after the Welsh football club beat Shrewsbury Town FC 1-0.
The Wrexham-Shrewsbury game was a third-round match in the Football Association’s Challenge Cup, or FA Cup, so – as Jackman put it in an Instagram post – the win was “huge”.

Before the club’s victory, Reynolds also shared a photo Deadpool 3 costars on the edge of their seats as they watch the match.

“Watching @wrexham_afc in the @emiratesfacup with Prisoner 24601,” he wrote, referring to Jean Valjean, the actor’s character in the 2012 film.
