Together with Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn, the football superstar is bringing the action comedy Stuntnuts to the international film market, with Chris Hemsworth, Sam Rockwell and Matt Damon among the cast.
Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing for his next big appearance – this time behind the camera. The 41-year-old football superstar is bringing the action comedy Stuntnuts to the international film market alongside British director Matthew Vaughn. It marks Ronaldo’s first feature film with an official producer credit.
In April 2025, Ronaldo and Vaughn, best known for films such as Kingsman and Kick-Ass, founded their joint production company UR•MARV. Its first feature film is now set to be presented to international buyers at the American Film Market.
Stuntnuts follows two professional stunt performers who take jobs on a major Hollywood production to earn enough money to save a gym. But as filming gets underway, things on set increasingly spiral out of control. Chris Hemsworth and Academy Award winner Sam Rockwell play exaggerated versions of themselves, while Matt Damon also makes a guest appearance.
The film is directed by experienced stunt performer Damien Walters. The cast also includes several professional stunt doubles, among them Bobby Holland Hanton and Greg Townley.
For Ronaldo, film production represents another step in expanding his business activities beyond football. The Portuguese superstar already invests across multiple industries, while his globally recognised CR7 brand could also prove valuable in the entertainment business.
Although he retired from Portugal’s national team in early November, Ronaldo remains under contract with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr until 2027.
His business ambitions, however, extend well beyond the end of his playing career. UR•MARV already has further film and television projects in development.
