Cristiano Ronaldo Makes Hollywood Debut as Producer of Action-Comedy Film Stuntnuts
Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is expanding his career beyond the football pitch after making his feature film producing debut with Stuntnuts, an upcoming Hollywood action-comedy produced in partnership with acclaimed filmmaker Matthew Vaughn.
The project marks the first film to emerge from UR MARV, the independent film and television venture established by Ronaldo and Vaughn in 2025, bringing together the Portuguese football icon’s business interests and the filmmaker’s experience in producing major action films.
PulseNets reports that Stuntnuts will feature an impressive cast, including Hollywood stars Chris Hemsworth, Oscar-winning actor Sam Rockwell and Matt Damon, who is also expected to make a cameo appearance.
The action-comedy follows two talented stunt performers who accept jobs on a major Hollywood blockbuster in an attempt to save their struggling community gym.
However, their plans take an unexpected turn as the film production descends into chaos, driven by increasingly dangerous stunts and the competing egos of the movie’s leading actors. What begins as an attempt to rescue their gym eventually develops into a much bigger struggle for survival.
Chris Hemsworth, Sam Rockwell and Matt Damon Feature in ‘Stuntnuts’
The film features Hemsworth and Rockwell portraying exaggerated and humorous versions of themselves, while Damon is expected to appear in a cameo role.
The production also brings together professional stunt performers, including Bobby Holland Hanton, Hemsworth’s longtime stunt double, Greg Townley, Paul Lowe and Haruka Oshima.
Damien Walters is directing the project, which combines action sequences, comedy and satire centred on the entertainment industry’s obsession with blockbuster productions and celebrity personalities.
Ronaldo Teams Up With ‘Kingsman’ Director Matthew Vaughn
Stuntnuts represents Ronaldo’s first officially credited producing role on a feature film, marking another expansion of his business interests beyond professional football.
His partnership with Vaughn brings together two personalities from different industries, with the filmmaker recognised for directing and producing successful action titles, including the Kingsman franchise and Kick-Ass.
The two had established UR MARV in 2025 as an independent film and television venture. Although they had previously financed and produced related action projects under the partnership, Stuntnuts is the first project to emerge publicly under the new banner.
When the partnership was initially announced, Vaughn described Ronaldo as a “real-life superhero”, highlighting his admiration for the footballer’s global profile and personality.
‘Stuntnuts’ Heads to American Film Market
PulseNets understands that Stuntnuts is scheduled to receive its first market screening at the American Film Market (AFM), where the film will be presented to international buyers through the 193 label.
The screening is expected to introduce the production to potential distributors and international markets as the filmmakers work towards securing wider distribution.
However, an official theatrical release date has not yet been announced.
