Marv Films (also known as Marv or MARV) is a British production company founded in 2004 and owned by Matthew Vaughn. It is best known for the motion pictures Layer Cake, Stardust, Kick-Ass and Kingsman: The Secret Service.

Marv was founded in 2004 by Matthew Vaughn. Using this manufacturing company Vaughn created his directorial debut Layer Cake with Daniel Craig in the lead role. In 2007 Vaughn wrote the screenplay and directed Stardust. The executive producer of this film, Kris Thykier, early 2007 Marv stepped film at. The movie played worldwide earned 140 million US dollars and was funded in part by Paramount Pictures. Subsequently, a three-year deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment was signed. Vaughn said that they want to finance in the future two to three British productions of less than 25 million US dollars per year. Thus Thykier and Vaughn in 2009 together produced Harry Brown and The Debt, whose screenplay Vaughn also wrote. The movie Kick-Ass, which was released in 2010, was produced again by Thykier and Vaughn. Vaughn wrote the screenplay and directed again. Also in the movie X-Men: First Class Vaughn wrote the screenplay and directed, but Thykier was not part of the production.
