The cartoon depicts Ronaldo transforming into a superhero, doing battle with other animated characters such as robots and aliens.
“In the same way football connects cultures and people around the world, I believe great animated characters and heroes can do the same and that’s why I am excited to bring together these passions of football and superheroes through this project and share it with my fans,” wrote Ronaldo.
