" Rihanna has reportedly signed up for a role in The Fast and the Furious 6. The &amp;#039;We Found Love&amp;#039; singer has allegedly agreed a deal to play a villain in the latest instalment of the action series, which stars Vin Diesel and Paul Walker.   Rihanna was approached for the role after her movie debut in Battleship, reports The Sun. &amp;quot;Rihanna impressed with her acting debut in Battleship,&amp;quot; a source said. &amp;quot;Writers think she&amp;#039;ll be perfect for the role. Her character has plenty of bite and doesn&amp;#039;t take any prisoners - just like her in real life. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a step up the ladder for her and could lead to bigger action roles.&amp;quot; The latest episode of the racing series was confirmed last June after Fast &amp;amp;amp; Furious 5 grossed over $626m (\u00C2\u00A3395m) worldwide. The Fast and the Furious 6 is due to film scenes in Southend-on-Sea, Essex. Dwayne Johnson will also be returning to the sequel as Luke Hobbs, whom he has said will &amp;quot;bring it&amp;quot; in the film. Rihanna recently confirmed plans to record her seventh studio album in the near future.
