Marvel Icons Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman Reunite for a Can’t-Miss Sports Doc on Disney+

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are teaming up again, but this time it is not claws, quips, or capes. It is catamarans. The pair are fronting a new Disney+ sports doc about their Australian SailGP team, the BONDS Flying Roos. If you like your competition shows fast, loud, and slightly chaotic, this one has all the right ingredients.

What the show actually is

Disney+ has greenlit an untitled docuseries following the BONDS Flying Roos through the SailGP season. On the water, the team is led by driver and CEO Tom Slingsby, who is, no exaggeration, one of the most decorated sailors out there. Off the water, the owners are, well, two movie stars who cannot stop roasting each other online.

SailGP is built for TV: a stadium-style setup with identical 50-foot foiling catamarans ripping around near-shore courses at roughly 100 km/h (about 60+ mph). National teams race all over the world for the Rolex SailGP Championship and a $12.8 million prize. So yes, the stakes are real, not just for bragging rights.

"This is our first collaboration since Deadpool & Wolverine and we once again anticipate action, comedy, heart but with a lot more water. And (fingers crossed) pirates. We hope there’s pirates in SailGP," Reynolds and Jackman said.

Who is making it (and why that matters)

Reynolds is not just onscreen; he is also involved creatively. His Maximum Effort is producing the series, and if you are connecting dots, yes, that is the same company that signed a first-look deal with 20th Television last year. Eureka Productions is on board too, and the series is being made in collaboration with SailGP and the BONDS Flying Roos themselves. It is labeled as a Disney+ Australian original.

Brent Hodge is directing and showrunning, which is a good sign if you like docs that move. Also producing: Rob Mac — the Wrexham co-chair and executive producer of 'Welcome to Wrexham' — via More Better Productions. And because Reynolds basically lives in the doc space now, it tracks: FX cameras have been following his co-owned Welsh soccer club for the past five seasons.

Where you will watch it

In the United States, the series will stream on Disney+ and Hulu. Everywhere else, it will be on Disney+ only. No premiere date yet, but it is coming soon enough that the sailing puns are already writing themselves.

Bottom line: Reynolds and Jackman are doing their first team-up since 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' only now the superpower is 60-mph hydrofoiling. Pirates uncertain. Drama guaranteed.
