Mullin, who has scored an impressive 88 goals in 122 games for the Red Dragons, was not the only Wrexham player to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s newest flick. Team-mate Ollie Palmer also made a brief appearance as a bar goer.
The movie, which was released on July 25, has already netted £159.5m at the box office in its debut weekend in North America, securing a spot in the top 10 openings of all time.
Wrexham is gearing up for their first season in the third tier of English football since 2005 after securing back-to-back promotions last term. The club enjoyed an impressive north American pre-season tour, earning draws against Premier League sides Bournemouth and Chelsea.
