Ryan Reynolds is convinced that Wrexham's "greatest days are yet to come" following a turbulent week for the Welsh club.
Reynolds and fellow co-owner Rob McElhenney were present to witness the Red Dragons share the spoils in a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, one day after the surprising exit of former CEO Michael Williamson.
It has been an eventful two weeks at the Racecourse Ground. The club was handed a fine by the EFL for playing two ineligible players, while manager Phil Parkinson openly questioned the determination of certain squad members. These incidents were then followed by Williamson's departure on Friday.
Despite the turbulence, Wrexham delivered two of their strongest performances of the campaign, defeating Middlesbrough 2-0 in midweek before earning a point against Wolves just three days later. It appeared to signal a potential shift in their season's momentum, and Reynolds remains confident that even bigger moments await the club, which has climbed from the National League to the Championship at an extraordinary pace.
Ryan Reynolds Makes Exciting Prediction
McElhenney and Reynolds reaffirmed that making the "Wrexham community proud" remained their top priority as stewards of the club when they announced Williamson's departure earlier in the week.
There was a fresh sense of optimism on Saturday as Wrexham claimed another morale-boosting result ahead of a busy festive fixture run. Parkinson acknowledged there was an "uplift" across the club with the owners present, while acting CEO Shaun Harvey received a standing ovation from portions of the home support in another memorable moment.
Reynolds turned to social media after the game to deliver a message of unity following a challenging start to the season. He also pledged that the finest moments were still ahead, a sentiment reflected in the ongoing construction of the new $95 million Kop Stand.
"An intense one for @wrexham_afc today," he posted on Instagram. "What a show the boys put on. I can't believe how far along the new Kop stand is. It feels like a living, breathing promise of the greatest days yet to come.
"So much to look forward to … There's togetherness in the stands and with the boys on the pitch—but more than anything there's just something about this place. Some of the best days of my life have been spent in this stadium, standing next to @robmac. Today was one of them. Up The Town."

The new Kop Stand is taking shape at the Racecourse Ground, with the steel framework and roof structure already erected. Wrexham is aiming to have the first seats installed before Christmas, representing another major milestone, though considerable work still lies ahead.
Construction on the red-brick exterior is set to commence this month, with current projections indicating that the bulk of the external work will be finished by February. From the outside, the stand should appear near completion by spring, with work on the internal facilities expected to get underway in March.
The club recently secured approval for an expanded capacity of 7,750 supporters in the Kop Stand, bringing the Racecourse Ground's total capacity to 18,000 for home fixtures. The "Premier League-ready" stand will not only position Wrexham for a potential top-flight promotion but also bring the stadium into full compliance with UEFA's Category 4 standards, enabling it to host full men's internationals and senior international competition matches.
Wrexham aims to have the new Kop Stand fully operational by the start of the 2027-28 season. Whether that will be in the Championship or the Premier League remains to be seen.
