Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are arguably one of the most iconic bromances in Hollywood. What started with a random Instagram message has formed a stronger bond than ever. Since the two got together, they have turned the Welsh league around. After achieving the unthinkable with Wrexham, it seems like Reynolds and McElhenney had a plan to collaborate in Hollywood as well.

Rob McElhenney has starred in several Hollywood films and series. However, his most popular work to date remains to be in It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Interestingly, his Wrexham mate once wanted to join him in the series, and McElhenney already had a role in mind.

Back in 2021, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney joined forces to take over Wrexham and took it to new heights with the club even getting their first EFL League win in 15 years. And it seems like the duo even considered creating some magic on-screen as well. During an interview with BuzzFeed in 2022, the two Hollywood stars talked about bringing the Deadpool star on board for a cameo on McElhenney’s sitcom series. While Reynolds felt surprised, McElhenney revealed that it was something that “could be arranged.”

In addition to that, the Mythic Quest star talked about how the Free Guy star could play his boyfriend in the series. McElhenney shared how “Mac needs a boyfriend.” McElhenney’s character Mac got cheated on by Denis in season 16 of the series. Reynolds was all in for the role as he agreed to play Mac’s hypothetical boyfriend. The Deadpool actor’s incredibly hilarious personality and witty persona could have been an excellent addition to the show.
