Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has officially ventured into the film industry, launching a new independent film studio named UR•MARV.
This development comes through a collaboration with renowned British movie director Matthew Vaughn, known for his work on Kingsman and Kick-Ass.
The studio is set to focus on producing high-octane action films, with two projects already in production and a third one planned for the near future.
Ronaldo, who has built a remarkable business empire beyond football, expressed his enthusiasm for the new venture.
“This is an exciting chapter for me, as I look ahead to new ventures in business,” the football legend said.
Vaughn, famous for his fast-paced, visually captivating films, echoed Ronaldo’s excitement, calling the football star “a real-life superhero” and expressing his eagerness to create inspiring movies together.
“Cristiano has created stories on the pitch that I could never have written, and I look forward to creating inspiring movies with him – he’s a real-life superhero,” Vaughn said.
While the financial details of their 50-50 joint venture remain undisclosed, the timing of the launch is notable.
With the rise of streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney+ supporting independent filmmakers, UR•MARV is poised to tap into a growing market that seeks fresh, engaging content.
Beyond his football career, Ronaldo has been steadily expanding his business interests.
He has stakes in a hotel chain, a porcelain manufacturer, and a media company in Portugal, along with recent investments in a tennis and padel club in Lisbon.
At 40, the football superstar shows no signs of slowing down, and his ventures outside of football continue to make headlines.
