Luc Besson‘s Valerian is a film adaptation of Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mezieressci-fi graphic novel series. Rihanna has a “big role,” according to Luc, best known for The Fifth Element. But no one attached to the film will say what that is, not even in a new sneak peek that aired during the 2016 MTV Movie Awards.

At least this behind-the-scenes look does give the first look at Rihanna in the film. Valerian takes place during the 28th century, when humans discover time travel. Yet the pop superstar appears straight out the Roaring Twenties. In fact, with her short hair and dark lips, Rihanna looks like a goth Clara Bow.

“She’s phenomenal,” says Cara Delevingne, who stars as Laureline. Watch the sneak peek up top.
