Following a digital duel with Azealia Banks last night, Rihanna is looking to put the focus back on her career endeavours.
With the promo cycle for her ‘ANTI’ album seemingly complete (capping off in the US at 610,098 pure sales), RiRi is turning her attention to film.
As reported, the Bajan belle has signed on to ‘Oceans 8’ – the all-female reboot of the ‘Ocean’s 11’ franchise.
The heist drama, which also stars Sandra Bullock, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, and Cate Blanchett, hits theaters on June 8th 2018.
Despite the lengthy lead-in, 28-year-old Rihanna has begun the teasing process.
Moments ago, she took to Twitter to share a first look at the cast in action.
Check it out below…

With record sales far from a guarantee in today’s age, it’s actually quite smart for Ms. Fenty to up her ante in other creative spaces.
What’s more, in being surrounded by other established names, there’s less risk for the flick heading for Razzie territory like many of her other acting endeavours.

So excited about this movie. Can not wait
F*ck Trump- the worst President in history…f*ck Beyonce, Taylor, Gaga, Britney, Azoolia Banks too..all hypocrites!
They are all FAKE!
I think we can give bey a pass on this I know i get on her about not speaking out sometimes people speak about the things they passionate about leave her alone she probably doing things behind the scenes
Beyoncé says F*** you tooo…. ugly Rat.?
She is the JLO of the RnB world. LOW on talent and High on HYPE.
Your mom p**** is low on talent which is why you were born stfu
Thank you for commenting. Here is your Darwin Award for the day. When the last time your fav hit #1?
When I was about to pop out Lisa I thought I was giving a birth to an a**! So painful.. ?
Will Samsung buy some tickets to give an illusion that this movie would be a hit like… Anti??? 😆
I doubt it but one thing I know.. Joanne is a tragic flop without any hit singles.
K bye, gurl.
Girl JOanne is gonna end selling as many album units as Anti despite not having the support of hit singles. Keep that in mind before commenting. Rihanna would be ended without the constant support of singles and features.
The future Queen of Pop…brave, strong and try to help the community.
Yes, Trump and his supporters are..PIGS.
She ended Azealia within 12 hours..quite impressive. Her career is very dynamic and colorful unlike this one artist who attacked cops just to sell a generic fake divorce album called …Sh*tmonade.
In other sad news..Beyonce is a coward. 🙁
since when is one many?
CONGRATS. IT WILL BE ANOTHER SNOOZEFEST FLOP… 🙁
…just like Bey’s marriage with a baboon.
She can’t even sing.. let alone acting. Maybe a model for Walmart is a better choice for this overrated goat.
Why are you so bitter and insecure?
Small b00bs?!!!
Your sh*t is bigger than your *sshole, huh?
Stfu
LISA
I agree she cannot act or sing or perform. And this movie is not needed. I eman, nobody is hyped for it. There is already a backlash for all these movies that are creating the female version. And teh first movies more than a decade ago weren´t even taht successful. These amny years later it is just not going to amke any impact. It´s a shame cause tremendous actresses like Cate Blanchet or Anne Heathaway are in it.
And Gaga just has white america. Which might I add, isn’t even checking for her. im gagging at the fact that people are excited for her Super Bowl performance to hear her songs from her first album. Kii. She’s already a greatest hit artist what 3-4 albums in? Kii.
And you stayed out of topic. As usual coming from a Rihanna fan. She has no talent. And this movie is not promising (not that if it were it would be thanks to her anyway).
Meanwhile Azealia Banks is hiding in her closet shaking ready to cut off another chickens head.
FLOP
Actually excited to see this movie! I love the Oceans series
Meanwhile someone is killing chickens for such an opportunity…
Would have loved for this movie to have a more diverse cast like Lucy Luu and Michelle rodriguez in it.
Lucy Lui would have been great! But it is a pretty diverse cast already.
so amped! Why so far!? Anyways I guess it makes sense since valerian is debuting this year. I feel like since she has changed her ago and becoming more active with twitter these days that we might be getting something soon. Remember there is always two sides to the story! Anti!!
Dead the b**** only sold 600k album’s ?????
How have Rihanna’s other roles put her in Razzie territory? She was in like two other movies and was extremely excellent in Battleship!
Sam would make anything up to try to shade Rihanna!
I never seen any of the oceans movies but based on the cast alone I know this is gonna be a HIT! Love love love Sarah Paulson, Mindy and Anne. I don’t know why she’s teasing this movie so early though, shouldve kept all the details under wraps until next year really. These acting singers need to learn the movie business. Anyway can’t wait!!
Love on the brain is 14 on bb without any promo or videos, when will lemon water singles?
Nice
