Rihanna Rumored to Appear in ‘Bond 24’
The latest rumor about Bond 24 features pop star Rihanna as the next Bond Girl. According to reports, the singer was approached by the franchise’s producers, and she liked the idea of appearing in the series.
“There have definitely been discussions of her joining the cast to be a Bond Girl,” said a source to HollywoodLife.com. “But she will not be the most focused Bond Girl if she gets the part. It will be more of a glorified cameo—something that they have done in the past with people like Madonna. It will be a brief part of the film if she ends up making an appearance. They are actually looking for her to do the theme, and the role would just be an added bonus.”
Another rumor points to Adele returning to create the theme song, but talks with the British singer have reportedly stalled.
If everything works out, this won’t be Ri’s first acting gig. She appeared in 2012’s box office blunder Battleship, and she lent her voice to the animated film Home, which is to be released early next year. Back in August, The Sunday Mirror reported that Rihanna’s friend, model Cara Delevingne, was being considered for a role in the Bond film. An anonymous source told the site, “Cara hinted she would love to be involved, but the makers of Bond had already started considering her as somebody they would be interested in. Obviously she’s striking, she’s well known and she’s establishing herself as a talented actress. There would be a real buzz about getting her involved, and the signs are all good. Everybody is excited.”
Who knows? Maybe we’ll get to see both of them in the film.
Bond 24 is slated to start filming later this year and will be released in November 2015.
