Hollywood star Hugh Jackman has revealed he is once again in talks to buy a stake in Championship side Norwich City in a move that would pit him against Deadpool co-star - and Wrexham owner - Ryan Reynolds.

Australian actor Jackman, who is a Canaries fan because his mother is originally from Norwich, is close friends with fellow actor Reynolds, and told talkSPORT they could soon be rivals in the Championship.

'I'm very, very interested – and talking about it right now,' Jackman said when asked if he could get involved in English football. 'Good on Ryan, you do your thing, (but) I'm all about the Canaries.'

In 2023, Jackman watched Wrexham alongside his Deadpool and Wolverine co-star Reynolds, who co-owns the Welsh club with fellow actor Rob McElhenney.

Under the duo's ownership, Wrexham have risen from the National League to the Championship with three straight promotions between 2022 and 2025, and are now looking at trying to get to the Premier League.

Jackman added: 'I went to Carrow Road a couple of times, and I love the Canaries, and this is the year we're going to get promoted. That's my prediction.

'My prediction is Norwich and Wrexham are getting promoted this year.'

Sydney-born Jackman, 57, had previously revealed he was offered the chance to invest in Norwich in 2010, but turned down the opportunity.

Speaking in 2011, he said: 'Sometimes I make big mistakes. I got a letter about a year ago saying, being such a huge Norwich City fan would I like to be a celebrity investor? Like a small part-owner.

'I said, "I think that's a little stretched, I've been to Carrow Road once, my mum took me", so I decided not to invest. And since then they're on a run, so what do I know?'

American billionaire Mark Attanasio is the majority shareholder in Norwich, having originally bought into the club in 2022, gradually building up his stake.

In August 2024, Attanasio, who is also the owner of the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team, took majority control from Delia Smith and Michael Wynn Jones.
