Rihanna is to star in a science fiction film called Battleship, vaguely based on the classic boardgame. The film, helmed by Hancock director Peter Berg, is about a naval fleet that protects the Earth from an alien invasion, reports Variety.It is not yet known what part the singer will play, but she will feature in the film alongside X-Men Origins: Wolverine actor Taylor Kitsch, who plays Naval commander Alex Hopper and True Blood's Alexander Skarsgård, who plays his father.
Rihanna made her acting debut in the straight-to-DVD film Bring it On: All or Nothing, though earlier this year she suggested she wanted to focus on acting more.
Battleship will be released in May 2012.
