What is the name of the film that Rihanna starred in with Jim Parsons in 2012?

The film Rihanna starred in with Jim Parsons in 2012 was Battleship.

Battleship was a science-fiction action film directed by Peter Berg and loosely inspired by the classic Hasbro naval strategy game. Rihanna made her acting debut as Petty Officer Cora “Weps” Raikes, a weapons specialist serving aboard the destroyer USS Samson. Jim Parsons appeared as Sam, a scientist and civilian passenger whose character becomes involved in the alien invasion crisis.

The film follows an international naval exercise that turns into a battle against extraterrestrial visitors after mysterious objects fall into the Pacific Ocean. Rihanna’s role was notably different from her career as a singer, placing her in a military ensemble alongside Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, and Liam Neeson.

A common mix-up is Home, the animated film in which Rihanna later voiced Tip; Jim Parsons also appeared in Home, but that movie was released in 2015, not 2012. Rihanna and Parsons shared the screen in Battleship.
