Lionel Messi to Launch Disney+ Series with Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds
Lionel Messi is the latest star to be inspired by Wrexham, all thanks to the ownership of Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds. The duo took over the club when it was struggling in the National League but managed to secure promotion in the 2022/23 season under Phil Parkinson’s guidance.
Beyond the success on the field, Wrexham has become a hub for celebrity sightings. Recently, Channing Tatum, Green Day singer Billy Joe Armstrong, Brandon Sklenar, and Dion Dublin were spotted cheering on the team alongside Reynolds. And now, even Lionel Messi is getting in on the action with his new Disney+ series.
Following the triumph of their documentary series ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ on Disney+, Rob and Ryan have reportedly inspired Messi’s upcoming show, ‘Messi and the Giants.’ This animated series is set to premiere on the Disney Channel and later stream on Disney+ globally. While the official release date is still under wraps, Messi has expressed his excitement about sharing the values of sports with younger generations through this project.
Fans of Wrexham can also look forward to the fourth season of ‘Welcome to Wrexham,’ although an exact release date is yet to be announced. The documentary has been a hit on Disney+ and is expected to continue captivating audiences with its behind-the-scenes look at the club’s journey. So, stay tuned for more exciting content from Wrexham on your screens!
