Rihanna will make her feature film debut in Battleship, which also stars True Blood stud Alexander Skarsgard and hot newcomer Taylor Kitsch.

Peter Berg will direct the picture, which is based on Hasbro's naval combat board game. The film is set at sea, in the air and on land in a "battle for planet survival against a superior force," according to Variety. Kitsch stars as a naval officer who leads the fight and Skarsgard will play his brother. It's not known what sort of role Rihanna will have, but we're hoping someone comes after her with a bottle of dark hair dye before cameras start rolling!

Battleship has a tentative release date of May 25, 2012.
