Latest spoilers claim that pop singer Rihanna may play the next Bond girl for "Bond 24."

Reports say that the singer will make a suitable Bond girl after she won this year's CFDA Fashion Icon Award. Moreover, she somehow reminds viewers of Halle Berry who is one of the memorable Bond girls.

Meanwhile, other reports claim that actress Léa Seydoux has bagged the role as the next Bond girl in Sam Mendes' "Skyfall" follow-up. It was initially reported that the director and the crew is looking for a Scandinavian for the role. However, it seems that the French actress won the production team.

Léa Seydoux has been set to meet up with other film stars Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, and Naomie Harris in November for script reading. Seydoux is a veteran in doing action films after she starred in various movies such as "Grand Budapest Hotel," "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol," and "Inglorious Basterds". However, she is best known for her role in the Palme d'Or-winning drama "Blue Is The Warmest Colour".

On the other hand, Batista reportedly bagged the role as the villain in the new James Bond film. Reports say that he will play the role of Hinx, an antagonist described by his physical strength who will have several bouts with James Bond. If rumors prove to be true, Batista will play another big role after he gained attention in playing Dax the Destroyer in Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy." Currently, the wrestler-actor is shooting "Bus 657" with Robert DeNiro and Kate Bosworth.

Daniel Craig will reprise his role as James Bond in the follow-up of "Skyfall." "Bond 24" has no decided title yet, but reports say that the production will commence in December with a possible release on Oct. 23, 2015 in the U.K. and Nov. 6, 2015 in the U.S.
