Vin Diesel is making a long-awaited return to the sci-fi franchise that catapulted him to stardom. The fourth installment of the “Riddick” series, titled “Riddick: Furya,” is finally coming to fruition, with Diesel reprising his iconic role and David Twohy returning as director.
Production for “Furya” is slated to kick off on August 26, 2024, with filming locations spanning Germany, Spain, and the U.K. This marks the culmination of years of effort from Diesel and Twohy, who have been striving to bring this project to life. The storyline of the upcoming film sees Riddick returning to his homeworld, facing new challenges alongside fellow Furyans battling a formidable foe.
Details about the cast are still under wraps, but Diesel will not only star but also produce the film alongside Samantha Vincent, Thorsten Schumacher, Lars Sylvest, and Joe Neurauter. While it remains uncertain if previous cast members will return, the franchise has garnered a loyal following since its inception in 2000 with “Pitch Black.”
Despite facing allegations in 2023, Diesel remains committed to his projects, including “Riddick: Furya” and “Fast & Furious 11.” The status of the allegations in relation to the film’s production is yet to be clarified. As of now, a release date for “Riddick: Furya” has not been announced, but anticipation among fans is running high.
