Summary
The soccer icon surprised the world by revealing thathe is teaming up with Hollywood filmmaker Matthew Vaughn to launch UR.Marv, their new film studio, is an independent studio being financed by the two men in a bid tobreak tradition within the industryand create something new. A statement for the studio pushed them as two industry disrupters who admire the world of the other and are now looking to make something both innovative and traditional.
It’s a surprising situation, given that Ronaldo isn’t someone who people would typically associate with movies, but he is obviously a fan of the industry and is now looking to push into it himself from a behind-the-scenes perspective. It’s unclear whether he will act at some point, but it’s certainly caught people’s attention. While Ronaldo doesn’t have experience, he has no shortage of star power and following, being one of the most famous people on the planet. That alone will likely bring a lot of attention from fans, while Vaughn will provide the industry knowledge. He’s been involved in some huge franchises throughout his career,from theKingsmanmoviestoKick-Ass, Layer Cake, andX-Men: First Class.
The first movie being created by this new studio is yet to be announced, but it’s certainly something that people will be paying a lot of attention to. Of course, people will immediately be asking is whether or not a biopic on Ronaldo’s life is going to be in the works.Biopics can be massive hitswhen done right, and considering Ronaldo’s worldwide appeal and the unique life he’s led at the top of the soccer industry at both club and international levels. There would no doubt be tons of interest in a movie based on his life, and that’s something his studio could explore.
Ronaldo is still playing soccerfor Saudi Pro League’s Al Nassr and his national side, Portugal, as he continues to be a goal threat in every game he plays. However, at the age of 40, he is starting to wind down and come to the end of his footballing career. That’s why it makes sense that he’s starting to branch out into other ventures, such as his YouTube channel and now a film studio, as it will provide him with revenue streams and businesses to work on after his soccer career is over.
