The Candadian actor is expected to trump up the Island’s top tourist attractions.

A trailer, announcing his appointment, has also been revealed.

In the trailer, Reynolds descends from the sky, parachuting straight into the heart of the action amidst speeding cars on Yas Marina Circuit. But he misses his landing spot and ends up with his feet planted at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Circuit. The video also sees Reynolds looking back on his lush career as an actor, producer, and owner of Welsh Football Club. But half of his conversation is drowned due to the sound of speeding cars around the circuit.

You can also witness the actor taking a stab at roller-coaster at the Ferrari World Yas Island and enjoying the various adrenaline-charged rides. The actor, whose comic timing is legendary, is a screamer during those rides.

He’s on call to promote the Island destination to the world.

“With the appointment of Ryan Reynolds as our latest Chief Island Officer of Yas Island Abu Dhabi, we continue the tradition of excellence established by Kevin Hart and Jason Momoa. Reynolds brings his own unique blend of charisma, energy, and enthusiasm to the role, promising to elevate the Yas Island experience to even greater heights. We're thrilled to embark on this exhilarating journey with him, inviting fans worldwide to be part of the legacy,” said Liam Findlay, CEO of Miral Destinations, in a statement.
