Portugal football captain Cristiano Ronaldo has launched a new film studio under the banner, UR-Marv, in partnership with director Matthew Vaughn.
The independent studio, in a statement released on Thursday, stated it aims to “embrace innovative technology, with a nod to tradition”.
“This is an exciting chapter for me, as I look ahead to new ventures in business,” Ronaldo said in a statement.
Vaughn added, “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.”
Ronaldo and Vaughn have financed and produced two action films together and are about to start a third in the same series. The studio is expected to announce the first release soon.
The 40-year-old footballer is the highest goal-scorer in international football with 136 goals and is the most capped player.
Ronaldo has played for leading clubs such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus, and has won five Ballon d’Ors.
