Rihanna has a new project coming out and kids around the world are going to love it.
The “Take Care” singer, 35, surprised attendees at CinemaCon 2023 in Las Vegas on Thursday (April 27) where she revealed she will be playing the role of Smurfette and providing original music for a new Smurfs movie, slated to release in February 2025.
"I'll be playing Smurfette. I tried to get the Papa Smurf part, but it didn't work out," Rihanna joked on stage, per Indie Wire. Rihanna also noted that working on the upcoming animated film has been an exciting experience for her.
"I got to play a part and just imagine. I got just to be myself. I got to show up in my pajamas in my third trimester and play a little blue badass," she said.
Rihanna is no stranger to the big screen and made her voice acting debut in 2015 with “Home.” The “Smurfs” film will be her second animated feature.
