Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are one of Hollywood’s most loved and iconic duos. The friendship that started over a mere Instagram DM has now become an incredibly powerful partnership. We are no strangers to the popularity that followed Wrexham following their takeover. Apart from investing a huge amount of money in the team, both Reynolds and McElhenney worked tirelessly to help the Red Dragons achieve their dream of nearly 20 years. As we all know, the duo has plans to take over the Alpine F1 Racing team. And interestingly, their takeover will leave you in awe.

Back in November 2020, the Deadpool star and McElhenney paid over 2 million pounds as they took over Wrexham. However, with the Alpine F1 Racing team, the duo would not be paying a single dollar. As surprising as it sounds, reports by The Mail suggest that the duo would not spend any of their earnings to buy a stake worth $218 million.

Interestingly, the duo would use their stardom and fame as they plan their takeover. The reports further suggest that they would leverage their storytelling skills to generate revenue potentially through a documentary series. Moreover, the duo will enter into an investment group with two other firms as they plan to purchase a 24 percent stake.

It might interest you to know that Michael B. Jordan would also be a part of the investment. Out of the 24 percent, the three Hollywood stars’ company Maximum Efforts Investment is expected to have 2 to 3% of the total stake. Meanwhile, the Alpine Racing team hopes to capitalize on the actors’ massive fame.
