Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has unveiled plans for a new career path off the pitch.
Currently playing for Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, the 40-year-old Portuguese star is venturing into the entertainment industry.
Ronaldo is teaming up with renowned filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, 54, known for producing Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and directing cult classics like Snatch and Layer Cake.
Together, they are launching UR MARV, an independent film studio aimed at blending cutting-edge technology with classic storytelling techniques.
A statement posted to Ronaldo’s official account on X, formerly Twitter, said: ‘Cristiano Ronaldo loves movies; Matthew Vaughn loves sport – and they both love a good story.
‘Both have been disruptive champions at their game and will now combine the world of sport and storytelling through the launch of UR MARV, an independent joint venture film studio embracing innovative technology, with a nod to tradition.’
Vaughan also stated: ‘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.’
