Step aside Ryan Reynolds; a new Marvel actor is entering the soccer world in England. Michael B. Jordan has acquired a minor ownership stake in Premier League side AFC Bournemouth.Nevertheless, contrary to Rob McElhenney and Reynolds' joint plan to purchase the humble Wrexham AFC, Jordan won’t be starring in anysportsdocumentaries, with his shares representing only a portion of the takeover by American billionaire Bill Foley. The venture is just the latest instance of businessmen or companies from the United Stateslooking over to Premier League footballsince Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Fulham, Crystal Palace, West Ham, Leeds United, and more recently Chelsea are all in American hands.RELATED:Blue Lock and the World Cup: A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy?According to an official statement published onBournemouth’s site, former owner Maxim Demin sold his 100% stake in the team to one of Foley’s companies, Black Knight Football, for an undisclosed amount. Through Black Knight Football, Cannae Holdings, Inc. will exert control over a 50.1% share, while the remaining investors come from Foley’s own NHL newcomers, the Vegas Golden Knights.

Similarly to Wrexham AFC, the team has struggled to stay at the highest levels of competition for most of its history. This year, Bournemouth sealed their return to the English top flight for the 2022/2023 season, and club fans might be hoping Foley can bring some of his magic to town, given the Golden Knights reached the Stanley Cup final in their first season ever.Regardless of his financial stake, Jordan has been picked to work on the “global marketing and internationalization of the club,” as per Bournemouth’s press release, which won’t surprise many considering the successReynolds and McElhenney found in theirWelcome to Wrexhamdocuseries. Funnily enough, one of Jordan’s few known links to the sport comes from hisCreedco-star Tony Bellew, who gave him an Everton FC shirt when they worked on the film.Unlike Wrexham, AFC Bournemouth (currently 14th in the Premier League) isalready inFIFA 23’s Career Mode, so Jordan won’t have to pull any strings to get them in the game. Foley is expected to attend the team’s next home match at the Vitality Stadium on December 31, but it’s unclear if Jordan will make the trip to South West England.MORE:The Creed Movies Deserve Way More AttentionSource:AFC Bournemouth
