Hugh Jackman's Wolverine looks set to follow Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool in co-owning an English football team.
Jackman has long been a fan of Norwich City F.C., a second-tier squad from the east of England nicknamed the Canaries, which has spent the last few decades continually on the bubble of achieving top-level success.
Speaking to TalkSport, Jackman mentioned he began supporting Norwich as a child due to it being the birthplace of his mother. And despite growing up in Australia, Jackman has still made various trips to Norwich's home ground over the years. Major cup and league success have proved elusive for Norwich over this time, however, with every successful promotion to the Premier League typically followed by swift relegation the season after.
"It's been slim pickings," Jackman admitted of Norwich's success rate over the past four decades. "We did win the Milk Cup in 1984. It's not even called the Milk Cup anymore. But we're on the rise. We're on the up and up.
"I went to Carrow Road a couple of times and love the Canaries, and this is the year," he stated. "We're going to get promoted. This is my prediction, Norwich and Wrexham are getting promoted this year."

So, could Jackman follow in the footsteps of his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Ryan Reynolds, who has famously helped shepherd Wrexham FC to success? Asked for a response to rumors he was preparing to buy a significant stake in the club, Jackman grinned and responded:
"I'm very, very interested... and talking about it right now."
