Natalie Portman has confirmed she has held discussions with Ryan Reynolds about the possibility of organising a friendly between her side Angel City FC and Wrexham AFC Women.
Portman co-owns the Los Angeles-based women's side along with fellow Hollywood star Eva Longoria, tennis legend Serena Williams, and former US international superstar Mia Hamm.
The team is set to follow in Wrexham's footsteps in becoming the subject of a new docuseries, 'Angel City', and it appears a crossover could already be in the pipeline.

Speaking at the show's premiere in LA, Portman told ET, she had already held conversations with Reynolds about organising a possible friendly game between the two sides: "I've been lucky enough to talk to him about his journey, and he's so inspirational for what he's done with Wrexham, and they have a women's team also.
"So, we have talked about kind of having some friendly matches at some point."
'Angel City' is set to air on HBO on May 16, and will undoubtedly represent another important step in the right direction for the women's game.
However, Portman admits it was initially difficult to get people on board for the project.
She added: "It was incredible to get the support from all of those friends and it was, it was really moving when people came on board, because it wasn't obvious, and we got a lot of no's before we got yes'. And I feel like I didn't realise what a big lift it was, and that might have stopped me from doing it if I understood how hard it was going to be."
Should a friendly with the Dragons be agreed, it would see Wrexham's women's side follow their male counterparts in heading stateside. Indeed, Phil Parkinson's men have already organised glamourous match-ups with Manchester United, Chelsea and Los Angeles Galaxy II.
Again, just like the men, Wrexham's women's side were promoted as champions this season, winning a place in the Adran Premier League.
Both teams were part of a joint open-top bus tour through the city on Tuesday night, which was attended by thousands of jubilant supporters.
