Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman Team Up in a New Venture

In an exciting turn of events, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are joining forces once again, but this time it’s not for a film. The iconic characters Deadpool and Wolverine have officially become co-owners of Australia’s SailGP team.

Reynolds, who is also a co-owner of the Welsh football club Wrexham, partnered with Jackman and Tom Slingsby, the driver and CEO, to rebrand the successful team that has clinched three championships in four seasons. The team will now be known as the BONDS Flying Roos, thanks to a partnership with the Australian undergarments company BONDS, as reported by Euro News.

Joint Statement from Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman

In a lighthearted joint statement, the Hollywood stars expressed their enthusiasm: “We’re incredibly excited to set sail together in this new adventure. Hugh brings a deep love for and pride in his home country, as well as being an avid fan of sailing. He will also be bringing his overly clingy emotional support human [Ryan Reynolds] along for the ride. Apologies in advance to Australia. No comment on whether we’re writing this in our BONDS. No further questions.”

Tom Slingsby Celebrates the New Partnership

Slingsby expressed his excitement about having the Deadpool and Wolverine stars on board, calling it an incredible milestone for both the team and the sport. He described them as icons who will bring “unmatched star power, a love for storytelling, and a sharp sense of humor that fits perfectly with our team.” He added, “With BONDS joining as our title partner and the launch of the BONDS Flying Roos, we’re building something distinctly Australian; a team driven by spirit, resilience, and national pride.”

Ryan Reynolds’ Broader Investment Interests

Beyond this venture, Ryan Reynolds has made headlines for his investments in various sports clubs, including an Alpine Formula One team and the Colombian football club La Equidad. He also showed interest in acquiring a stake in the NHL’s Ottawa Senators but ultimately withdrew his bid in 2023, as reported by The Guardian.
