Everything's coming together fast!
Rihanna has been reported to have recorded two songs for the upcoming "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" movie.
According to Hits Daily Double, Rihanna, who is staging a grand comeback to music, is said to have been included in the highly-awaited official soundtrack of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever."
The film, set for release on November 11, is one of the most anticipated features this year because of the public's curiosity on how the Marvel Cinematic Universe adapted to the death of the late Chadwick Boseman, who plays the titular role because of colon cancer.
As for Rihanna, this wasn't the first time her name came up on the "Black Panther." Harpers Bazaar debunked in 2020 that the Fenty CEO landed a role as part of the Wakandan nation in the film, contrary to rumors spreading at the time for her casting.
The 2018 OST was huge, with names like Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Khalid, and even The Weeknd on the bill. The publication's sources also state that the soundtrack of the sequel follows suit, with Disney & Marvel collaborating with Def Jam Recordings, Rihanna's label.
So far, recent reports and news align with the recent tidbit.
According to Deuxmoi, an anonymous Entertainment insider, a new Rihanna song is set to debut on Halloween 2022, which is a week before the slated November 11 release of "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever." He also said that Rihanna is due to release her new untitled album on January 2023.
Recent reports also say that Rihanna was spotted leaving and going to a music studio in Los Angeles, California, along with his boyfriend, ASAP Rocky, sparking more anticipation of her new music.
With the recent insider source of Hits Daily Double, it could mean that Deuxmoi's referring to the song/s that Rihanna was seen recording in California for the new "Black Panther" film.
Marvel & Disney has recruited big names to make music for their films. Beyonce herself was cast as Nala in the 2019 CGI adaptation of "The Lion King" as Nala. Post Malone made waves with his song "Sunflower" on "Spiderman: Into The Spiderverse." "All The Stars," the Oscar-nominated song from "Black Panther," was from GRAMMY-winning singer SZA and Pulitzer Awardee Kendrick Lamar.
"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" stars Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong'O, Danai Gurira, and Winston Duke, among many actors.
