Ryan Reynolds, the actor famous for playing Deadpool and Pikachu in Pokémon Detective Pikachu, has purchased an ownership stake in Mint Mobile. The actor compared this purchase to other celebrities investing in "high-end products like skincare brands or delicious gin companies", saying that this "unconventional" business move excites him because he believes that an average American pays too much for their wireless plan.
