Rihanna’s film debut, Battleship has yet to be released in the U.S., and already there’s talk of her next acting gig. According to The Sun, the singer, who recently made “Time’s 100 Most Influential People” list, may be cast to play a villain in the next installment of the Fast and Furious movie franchise. The Huffington Post reports:

“Battleship” hasn’t even debuted in the U.S. yet, but that’s not stopping Rihanna from continuing her big screen takeover. According to U.K. paper The Sun, the “We Found Love” singer has been cast as a villain in the sixth installment of “The Fast and the Furious” franchise.

The pop music hitmaker will make her film debut in “Battleship” — out May 18 — but The Sun reports that Rihanna will play a dangerous femme fatale alongside regulars Paul Walker and Vin Diesel, and will film her part in London.

A source tells the newspaper that Rihanna’s “Fast 6” character “has plenty of bite.”
