Actor and Wrexham AFC co-owner Ryan Reynolds is the latest celebrity to vie for public attention by sharing his NCAA Tournament draws on social media.
Only, instead of betting on March Madness with colleagues, friends and anonymous rivals, Reynolds goes head-to-head with his “IF” co-star John Krasinski.
“Best bracket brings gifts… IF my bracket beats @johnkrasinski, the winner will purchase a movie theater in the winning team’s city to watch @IFMovie on opening night.”
Reynolds predicts the North Carolina men’s team will feature Purdue and All-American center Zach Edey in the NCAA Tournament final, while Caitlin Clark and Iowa are expected to win the women’s national championship by beating the Texas.
“IF” is a new live-action animated fantasy story directed by Krasinski and starring Reynolds, Krasinski, Cailey Fleming, Fiona Shaw, Alan Kim and Liza Colón-Zayas. Krasinski’s “Office” co-star Steve Carrell also plays a character in the film alongside Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Louis Gossett Jr. The film is set to be released on May 17.

Ryan Reynolds didn’t think too much about the women’s category, choosing Caitlin Clark and Iowa

Reynolds’ Iowa pick seems like a solid guess.
Not only do the Hawkeyes have Clark, the reigning player of the year, but they are also experienced, having reached last year’s finals, where they fell to the LSU Tigers.
Additionally, 14 of the last 16 women’s national champions have been top seeds, just like Iowa this year.
If there’s an obstacle for Iowa, it could come in the Elite 8 in Albany, where there’s a chance for a rematch with LSU and star forward Angel Reese.
The North Carolina men’s team, meanwhile, is trying to win a national title a year after missing the tournament entirely.
The good news for the Tar Heels and coach Hubert Davis is that they, too, are experienced. Most notably, senior forward Armando Bacot has already been to a national championship, losing to Kansas in 2022.
