Singer Adele has reportedly landed a cameo role of a baddie in Matthew Vaughn's new spy film "The Secret Service".
The 25-year-old, who was previously involved in the award-winning blockbuster 'Skyfall', will join the likes of David Beckham and Sir Elton John in an already star-studded cast, reported Sun Online.
"Adele is exactly what Matthew is looking for. He wants the highest-profile names in various fields to boost the film's cause and turn it into a mega-money franchise. You can't get much bigger than Adele in music, which is why he's so keen to get her involved. She'll be great value on the big screen," a source said.
A spokesman for Adele has refused to comment on the news. The film, which is based on a spy graphic novel by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, stars Colin Firth and Michael Caine as super agents fighting a team of villains headed by Samuel L Jackson.
