Beady-eyed fans spotted an ad for the track on the US iTunes store but as yet there has been no confirmation from the “Work” singer about her involvement in the upcoming sci-fi film.
“Sledgehammer” is expected to drop before Star Trek Beyond, starring Idris Elba, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg and the late Anton Yelchin, arrives in UK cinemas on 22 July.
Rihanna brings her Anti World Tour to London’s Wembley Stadium on Friday before heading to Coventry, Glasgow and Manchester.
Earlier this week, the 28-year-old broke down in tears on stage at her Dublin gig while singing “Love the Way You Lie”, her hit with Eminem. She later posted a photo on her Instagram account, describing the show as “emotional”.
“I only have ever in my life heard an audience of people scream so loud that they sound like one voice and that only happens in Ireland, in Dublin,” she told her fans. “Thank you so much.”
