Ryan Reynolds has jetted in for Wrexham’s penultimate match of the League One season, which could seal a third consecutive promotion.
The Red Dragons sit second in third tier ahead of their crunch clash with fourth-placed Charlton at the Racecourse Ground.
A win will be enough to seal promotion to the Championship after Wycombe suffered a 1-0 loss away at Leyton Orient.
And co-owner Reynolds will be in attendance for the party if Wrexham win, having arrived with wife Lively overnight from the United States.
Lively posted an Instagram photo of them stood in front of the club’s bade with the caption: ‘Let’s go boys @wrexham_afc.’
Reynolds has since reposted it with: ‘LET’S GO JETLAG (never going to sleep).’

Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have both been highly praised for transforming Wrexham since 2021
The Hollywood star made an early arrival to the ground and partied with supporters as he poured pints for them.
Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who is said to have arrived in Wales earlier this week, have both been highly praised for transforming Wrexham since 2021.
The club were in the National League prior to their involvement, and now look set to be one step away from the Premier League next season.
Speaking earlier this week at the TIME100 Summit, Reynolds said: ‘I have, literally, like an eight-inch ulcer in my stomach right now because it’s the end of the season.
‘It all comes down to the next two weeks. They just can’t do it easy, like just one year let’s do it without having receding hairlines all around. We’re all losing it. Stress [is] killing us.’
Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s involvement is not only restricted to off the pitch matters, with midfielder George Dobson revealing the latter gave the team a rousing pre-match speech before Monday’s 2-1 win at Blackpool.
Dobson explained: ‘It was unbelievable. The Wigan and Bristol Rovers games it maybe looked like we were a tad more cagey than we had been and [McElhenney] just said there’s no pressure whatsoever, just go back to that 12-year-old boy and play as you would as a kid with your friends.
‘It was a really inspirational, motivational speech and the whole group really bought into it.’
