Has James Bond found the next artist to sing his theme song? While it was thought that she may be acting in the movie, it actually may be the theme song that is the target for Rihanna in Bond 24.

Last week, OK! had a rumor that Rihanna would be playing a Bond girl in the next movie alongside Daniel Craig, but it seems like the artist may be providing the theme song instead.

While she has some acting experience, with only one starring role, it was thought that Rihanna would join Craig as a Bond girl for a small role in Bond 24, but now IGN is reporting that she may instead sing the theme song. The last movie's song was provided by Adele.

Is Rihanna Playing A Bond Girl In 'Bond 24?'

This isn't the first time the franchise has gone for a more pop-oriented song for their theme as Madonna provided the theme song for 2002's Die Another Day and artists such as Paul McCartney have done it in the past.

But could Rihanna both act and provide the song? Maybe. It seems like director Sam Mendes and Craig are looking for a few smaller characters to be Bond girls and Rihanna could show up briefly to play someone trying to flirt with James Bond.

Either way, it seems like the artist is a fan of the films and would want to do any work she could on the next one. Other names rumored to be involved in making the theme song include Sam Smith and Lana Del Rey so they want someone who is popular now.

Bond 24 is set to open in theaters on Nov. 6, 2015.
