Actor Vin Diesel is set to come back for the upcoming fourth installment of American science fiction action franchise Riddick. The new film is titled Riddick: Furya, which will be written and directed by David Twohy.
David has earlier helmed the franchise’s The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) and Riddick (2013). According to Deadline, the upcoming installment will be backed by Vin under his One Race Films banner, alongside Samantha Vincent. Riddick revolves around a murderer who gets betrayed and is left on streets to die on a desolate planet. As he takes all ways to survive, he faces-off with mercenaries who have come to capture him.
“Furya will see Riddick finally returning to his homeworld, a place he barely remembers and one he fears might be left in ruins by the Necromongers. But there he finds other Furyans fighting for their existence against a new enemy. And some of these Furyans are more like Riddick than he could have ever imagined,” the official description read.
“Our legion fans have demanded it for years, and now we’re finally ready to honor their call to action with Riddick: Furya. My collaboration with Vin and One Race has spanned 20 fruitful years, as together we’ve created three movies, two video games, an anime production, and motion comics for the internet. This new big-screen event will see a return to Riddick’s homeworld, where we finally get to explore Riddick’s genesis,” David said.
