Cristiano Ronaldo Announces Joint Venture Film Studio, Teases Action Films With 'Kingsman' Director

Cristiano Ronaldo will be leaping into sports to film.

On Thursday (April 10), the professional soccer icon revealed on social media that he's entered a joint venture film studio partnership with Matthew Vaughn, director of Kick-Ass and Argyle. Together, the two have established film studio UR-MARV, but here's the kicker–they've already made two movies with a third in the works.

It a statement, it was explained that the independent company will involve "innovative technology, with a nod to tradition." Together, Ronaldo and Vaughn have "financed and produced two action films and are about to start a third in the same series. They look forward to announcing the first release soon."

"This is an exciting chapter for me, as I look to new ventures in business," Ronaldo 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," Vaughn added.

Some believe that the UR-MARV announcement could mean that Kick-Ass 3 and 4 are on the way, as the second installment was released in 2013. But Vaughn revealed to Collider last year that while he won't be working on another Kick-Ass film, he'll be making a three-project reboot, with the first two installments titled School Fight and The Stuntman.

It's otherwise unsurprising that Ronaldo is making more entrepreneurial moves in entertainment since he's a favorite of online personalities iShowSpeed and Mr. Beast.
