“I tried to get the role of Papa Smurf, but it didn’t work out,” she joked on stage during the presentation!

The singer will take over the role from Demi Lovato, who lent her voice to Smurfette in Smurfs: The Lost Village in 2017.

In addition, the film will be made as a musical film, a hybrid between animation and live-action, and Rihanna will be the creator of the film’s original theme song and part of the soundtrack.

However, we’ll have to wait a long time… since the film is only scheduled for the year 2025!
