While they continue to enjoy the side’s presence in the fourth division, excitement also surrounds the new season of their documentary, Welcome to Wrexham.

Reynolds and McElhenney attended the team’s significant match and were accompanied by Jackman. Both co-owners were confident that their beloved club would easily clinch a victory against MK Dons. However, it turned out quite the opposite as they lost the opener for their League Two campaign, 5-3. Although the outcome left fans somewhat disappointed, the co-star of Deadpool 3 departed with a cheerful expression.

Interestingly, Jackman engaged in conversations with several reporters as he made his way out of the Racecourse Ground. In fact, he left with an eyebrow-raising comment, saying, “It wasn’t a part of the script. But it was a great game, I really enjoyed it.” While Wrexham might have started on the wrong foot in EFL League Two, they will be looking to bounce back.
