‘People on the moon ask how are Wrexham doing?’ - Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney have ‘captured the universe’ with record-breaking Hollywood blockbuster at Wrexham

Few knew what to expect at that stage, especially as documentary cameras were brought along with them, but a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wrexham-rob-mcelhenney-kaitlin-olson-reacts-history-making-championship-red-dragons/blt339a0e3cacb0cd93" target="_blank">wild ride has been enjoyed since then</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Red Dragons have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/blake-lively-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-magic-record-breaking-wrexham/bltdc9ee63d6235391e" target="_blank">rewritten the history books by securing three successive promotions</a>, while ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/more-series-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhnney-make-welcome-to-wrexham-as-long-as-they-can-deadpool-actor-more-emotionally-attached-red-dragons-than-marvel-hollywood/bltc2428a5bcd998f4c" target="_blank">opened up a window to the world</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Club legend Mickey Thomas is among those struggling to explain quite what has happened, telling the <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0l7jw3h" target="_blank"><em>Feast of Football</em></a> podcast of a remarkable rise to prominence: “I don't think anyone can really believe what's happened to the football club. Everyone wants to go and watch Wrexham. You can't get a ticket these days.</p><p>“It's not just Wrexham, it's globally. They have captured the whole universe haven't they? I am sure if you go to the moon, there'd be someone there asking: 'How are Wrexham doing?'.</p><p>“I didn't see this happening. But what they have done is they have got the right man in charge in Phil Parkinson and the recruitment has been second to none.”</p>

WHAT MICKEY THOMAS SAID

<p>Wrexham are now <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/how-much-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-spend-wrexham-budget-phil-parkinson-championship-transfer-plans/bltca491aef25d2667b" target="_blank">preparing for life in the Championship</a>, with Thomas confident that Parkinson’s side will remain fiercely competitive at that level. He added: “We know they will do well to finish halfway in the Championship or whatever, but you wouldn't put it past them, that they could get automatic promotion next year.
</p><p>“You might laugh at that, but you never know with these two guys, everything they touch turns to gold.”</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Reynolds and McElhenney have never shied away from the fact that they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-premier-league-wrexham-plans-appeal-big-company/blt51bff5d5dd93c645" target="_blank">want to bring Premier League football to SToK Racecourse</a>.
