Cristiano Ronaldo Ventures Into Film Industry, Unveils New Studio
Cristiano Ronaldo has ventured into the film industry, marking his debut by partnering with British film producer Matthew Vaughn to establish an independent film studio called UR•MARV.
This collaboration has already led to the production and financing of two action-packed films, with plans for a third installment in the same series.
The financial specifics of their 50-50 joint venture have not been disclosed. Their investment comes at a time when streaming platforms like Netflix and Disney+ are increasingly backing independent filmmakers, providing a global distribution network that can help their films reach a wider audience and fuel the growth of the independent film industry.
Ronaldo shared his excitement in a statement on Thursday, “This is an exciting chapter for me, as I look ahead to new ventures in business.”
His partner, Vaughn, said, “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.”
At 40 years old, Ronaldo has significantly expanded his business portfolio over the last decade. His investments include stakes in a hotel chain, a porcelain manufacturer, and a media company in Portugal. He has also recently acquired a tennis and padel club in Lisbon.
Moreover, Ronaldo has expressed an interest in owning football clubs once he retires, further broadening his business interests.
Ronaldo, who currently plays for Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr with a reported annual salary of around US$200 million, continues to shine on the field but has not yet revealed when he plans to retire from professional football.
Vaughn, on the other hand, has built a reputation for reinventing action cinema with his sleek, fast-paced approach and a flair for blending humor with high-stakes drama. He made his directorial debut with the gritty crime film Layer Cake (2004) and quickly followed up with bold, genre-defying hits like Kick-Ass (2010) and X-Men: First Class (2011).
Variety reported that Vaughn’s big breakthrough came in 2014 with the launch of the Kingsman series—a high-octane spy saga known for its slick visuals, tongue-in-cheek tone, and explosive set pieces, all under the banner of his production company, Marv. Most recently, he directed Argylle (2024), a globe-trotting espionage adventure starring Henry Cavill and Bryce Dallas Howard. With two more Kingsman films on the horizon, Vaughn shows no signs of slowing down.
