Rihanna Rumoured for James Bond 24

Rihanna is rumoured to have been approached by Eon Productions about the next James Bond film, currently known simply as Bond 24.

Rihanna, who made her big screen debut with Battleship back in 2012, is apparently a big 007 fan and, according to this report, Eon wants her to sing the theme for the newest Bond movie as well as possibly cameo.

Rihanna is a big fan of the Bond films and has always loved the idea of appearing in one," an unnamed source told The Sunday Mirror. "She didn't even need to think about it, she knows she wants to do it. She's really excited."

It's not unheard of for a musician to appear in and sing for a James Bond film. Madonna did both for 2002's Die Another Day, for instance. Meanwhile, Adele sang the theme for Skyfall, winning a Grammy and Oscar for her performance.

James Bond 24 begins production in December and will shoot in the UK, Morocco, and Austria. Rihanna will next be heard on the silver screen in DreamWorks' animated film Home in March.
