The idea of a game between Birmingham City and Wrexham being a Hollywood blockbuster would have been laughable a few years ago.
But tonight's League One clash at St Andrew's will be big news across the Atlantic as it pits Tom Brady against Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
Wrexham's rise up the leagues under their movie star owners probably played a part in NFL legend Brady deciding to take up a shareholding in the Blues.
Both clubs have been splashing the cash to get in the title mix and it's paying off for Wrexham who currently sit top as they chase a third successive promotion.
But Birmingham have a game in hand and are just three points behind so a win at home tonight would put Chris Davies' side in driving seat.

Birmingham City vs Wrexham top betting tips
Although Wrexham have momentum and a decent squad, two leagues divided these sides last season so it's no great surprise to see Birmingham as Betfred's 5/6 favourites.
The Blues haven't been great at St Andrew's though, winning just one of their four home games this term, so it could pay to back a tight game. The half-time draw pays 6/5 while backing most goals to come after the break pays 21/20.
With all the hype surrounding this game the players will be fired up so the best option for punters could be going for cards. Over 42.5 booking points pays a tempting 11/10 and I fancy Wrexham for most booking points at 6/5.
Rayo Vallecano vs Osasuna top tips
Osasuna have made a promising start in La Liga and they will be confident of putting more points on the board away to Rayo Vallecano tonight.
With two wins and just one defeat from their four games so far, it looks like the Basque side will have another decent campaign.
But Rayo's start hints at another battle against the drop, with two of their matches ending in defeats. They finished fourth from bottom last term and this is the kind of game they need to be winning if they want to avoid another stressful season.
The bookies fancy their chances as Betfred make Rayo Vallecano their 21/20 favourites, with Osasuna a bit overpriced at 3/1. That's probably because Osasuna lost 4-0 in their only away game so far this term – but Girona are a far better side than Rayo.
Three of Rayo Vallecano's games so far have ended in 2-1 scorelines so BTTS looks worth a punt here at 11/10. The half-time draw also appeals, although the price isn't great at 19/20.
Lazio vs Hellas Verona top betting tips
There's a couple of games in Serie A tonight and I'm going to concentrate on Lazio's clash with Hellas Verona in Rome.
Although Verona finished in 13th last term, they were only three points clear of the drop zone in a congested bottom half of the table.
They've made a much better start this season though and sit two points ahead of Lazio in the early table after winning two of their three games.
Lazio are Betfred's 4/6 favourites though and it's hard to disagree given they've beaten Venezia and drawn with AC Milan at home so far.
Igor Tudor's side have conceded in all three of their games so combining the home win with BTTS could pay off at 11/4.
Mattia Zaccagni seems to be on the pens for Lazio this term so that makes the midfielder a decent option for a goal at 12/5.

Bhutan Premier League 10am
RTC v Daga United
The home side sit 4th and at 1/14 it should be a routine home win as they entertain the divisions whipping boys.
In a league that regularly features high scoring games RTC aren’t renowned for it despite seeing 49 goals in their 15(3.5 average) which is the 2nd lowest of all 10 teams but today they entertain Daga United who have yet too register a clean sheet while shipping 61 goals in 15 matches.
Daga have lost 12 of 15 and took some heavy ones in the process…. conceding 7 twice, 6 twice and an 11-1 going over by top team Paro but that last score highlights their ability to find the net despite their apparent lack of quality. Daga have only failed too score twice in 15 and scored at least 1 in 10 of 12 defeats. RTC have kept just 2 clean sheets in their 15 matches & they’ve conceded in 4 of their 5 wins on home soil.
The reverse fixture finished 2-1 too RTC
RTC win and BTTS 21/20 Wullie Hills

Birmingham have landed at least five corners in their last five matches. Their corner record in their previous three at home reads 14, 7, 11. Wrexham have conceded at least five corners in three of their five league games so far and in their last outing in the EFL Cup. The last siz H2Hs between Lazio and Verona have seen at least 40 booking points. Verona have received 17 bookings in their last four games. GL
Rangers B vs Fraserburgh
Tuesday
Over 3.5mgs @ 11/10 (bet365) Nap
Small stake
Over 4.5mgs @ 11/4 (bet365)
Fancy this one for goals, Rangers B currently without a league to play in and has been the case for the last year or so. 6 out their last 7 games ( a mix of friendlies and previous rounds of this cup ) have seen at least 4+ goals and they both score and leak goals in nearly every game. Fraserburgh are a decent highland league outfit and more than capable of being involved in the goals here and will ambitions of progressing to the next round of this cup.
Celtic vs Bratislava
Wednesday
V. Weiss to be booked @ 12/5 (bet365) Nap
For people who remember, yes this is the same Vladimir Weiss who had a spell at Rangers many moons ago. Took the rivalry with Celtic to heart and repeatedly turned up in the crowd to watch games after he left. Often in the middle of the ultras section. I’m sure he would be delighted to get something on Wednesday although I can see it being a tough evening for Bratislava. I have a funny feeling he’ll be in the middle of it at some point, and he already isn’t shy of a card. Booked 5 times already this season, 3 of which came in the qualification rounds, I seriously fancy him to pick up a card here again.
Good luck 🤞
