The Australian actor, whose mother is originally from the city, is close friends with Wrexham co-owner Reynolds and told talkSPORT they could soon be rivals in the Championship.

"I'm very, very interested - and talking about it right now," Jackman said when asked if he could get involved in English football.

"Good on Ryan, you do your thing, I'm all about the Canaries."

In 2023, Jackman took up an invitation to watch Wrexham alongside his Deadpool and Wolverine co-star Reynolds, who co-owns the Welsh club with fellow actor Rob McElhenney.

Under their ownership, Wrexham rose from the National League to the Championship with three straight promotions from the 2022/23 season.

Jackman believes Norwich and Wrexham will be promoted to the Premier League this season, even though both teams have won just one of their four matches so far.

"I went to Carrow Road a couple of times, and I love the Canaries, and this is the year we're going to get promoted. That's my prediction," said Jackman.

"My prediction is Norwich and Wrexham are getting promoted this year."

Sydney-born Jackman, 57, previously revealed he was offered the chance to invest in Norwich in 2010 but turned down the opportunity.

American billionaire Mark Attanasio is the majority shareholder in the club, located in the east of England.
