Rihanna's epic dominance in the field of music and beyond has reached the halls of "Star Trek Beyond." Also, with her hit single, "Sledgehammer" in tow, many could not help but wonder how this Grammy award-winning singer could alter the tides in favor of the galactic forces.

According to a report from the Independent, Rihanna has teased of a new single called "Sledgehammer," which has been anticipated to be included on the next "Star Trek Beyond" and would also be used as its soundtrack.

For the most part, Rihanna's track was first played on iTunes for the past few days and even Rihanna mentioned and said, "got something for y'all tomorrow". Also, Rihanna kept her word and announced to Twitter that her single, "Sledgehammer" would be paired with "Star Trek Beyond."

A separate report from Wired revealed that "Star Trek Beyond" would continue with the storyline and though there are minor details on the movie's trailer, the announcements of Rihanna has filled the gap. "Star Trek Beyond" is under the watchful eye and directive prowess of Justin Lin.

As for its cast, Chris Prine, Zoe Saldana, Zachary Quinto, Idris Elba, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban and many others are among the confirmed celebrities on board.

For Rihanna, the song was a momentum of her journey as a singer. "Sledgehammer" is considered as one theatrical, soulful ballad tRihanna has crafted.

For one, the lyrics are "Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious/And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless/But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all, watch the fall/You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer."

It remains to be seen how the next sequel "Star Trek Beyond" would fare in the box office once it is released. However, many are hoping that the forthcoming movie would outrun its former achievements and render strong returns, specially since it has even included Rihanna's "Sledgehammer" single on board.
