Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds wants more film work to ‘head to Wales’ after meeting with Rishi Sunak
Wrexham AFC co-owner Ryan Reynolds has said he wants to see more film work “head to Wales” after meeting with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
The Hollywood star met with the PM at Number 10 during a break in filming for his new Deadpool movie.
Reynolds recently announced a partnership with TV channel S4C which will see Welsh-language shows available in the US on the actor’s channel Maximum Effort.
“With Deadpool paused, we visited 10 Downing to discuss the excellence of UK film crews and Maximum Effort,” he said.
“Aside from shooting back home, the UK is my favourite place to make a movie. Hoping to see even more film work head to Wales.
“Rob would have joined but he’s currently having a word with Man United’s youth team goalie.”
