40-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo has officially announced his new project — in collaboration with British director Matthew Vaughn, he is launching a film studio called UV Marv.
The legendary Portuguese footballer shared the news on April 9 on social network X, adding a cryptic “Coming to cinemas soon...”
Vaughn, known for films such as *Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels*, *Kingsman*, and *Stardust*, has joined forces with Ronaldo to produce three movies.
The first two are already completed and awaiting official release dates, while the third is currently in pre-production.
According to the partners, they aim to “shake up the film industry” by applying unconventional approaches and blending sports, style, and action.
Earlier, Tom Cruise revealed the title of the eighth installment of the franchise — *Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning* — and presented the first trailer for the film, scheduled to premiere in May 2025.
It was also reported that Val Kilmer passed away at the age of 65 — a charismatic and multifaceted actor known for his roles as Batman and Jim Morrison, as well as for his long absence from the stage that lasted a decade.
