Rihanna could be set for a role in Bond 24, Digital Spy said citing The Sunday Mirror.

The 'Umbrella' singer has been approached by producers to star in the upcoming James Bond film alongside Daniel Craig.

Bond 24 is expected to begin filming on December 6, and is due for a November 2015 release.

Director Sam Mendes' follow-up to Skyfall, which will see Daniel Craig return for his fourth film as the spy, has recently been in the process of a rewrite by long-time franchise writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.

Her's Hoyte van Hoytema will serve as cinematographer for Bond 24.

Rihanna recently criticised CBS for its decision to pull one of her songs during an NFL game between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers in the wake of the Ray Rice domestic abuse scandal.
