Apart from that, the fans are already in awe of Natalie Portman’s words in the trailer. She says, “Sometimes you dream impossible dreams and then you kind of let them go away. And you’re like, ‘Oh, that’s silly.’ But then sometimes, someone you love and respect says, ‘No, that’s a good idea, keep going”. The trailer indicates that the three-part documentary series will drop for the fans in May.
While the fans prepare themselves for ‘Angel City’, Ryan Reynolds’ Welcome to Wrexham might also have a second season in the works.
