"Riddick: Furya" in Works with Vin Diesel Set to Return

American actor and producer Vin Diesel is set to return for a fourth installment in the “Riddick” franchise.

The upcoming movie is titled “Riddick: Furya” and hails from filmmaker David Twohy.

Twohy first teamed up with Diesel on 2000’s “Pitch Black”, and continued the hit sci-fi franchise with two sequels, 2004’s “The Chronicles of Riddick” and 2013’s “Riddick”.

Diesel will star in and produce the new movie under his One Race Films banner, alongside Samantha Vincent, who will also produce. 

Rocket Science and CAA Media Finance will launch worldwide sales at next week’s EFM in Berlin.

“Furya” sees Riddick finally returning to his homeworld, a place he barely remembers and one he fears might be left in ruins by the Necromongers. There he finds the Furyans fighting for their existence against a new enemy. Riddick also discovers that some of the Furyans are more like him than he could have ever imagined. 

Diesel is set to be seen in “Fast X”, the latest installment of the “Fast and Furious” franchise. 

The movie hits theaters on May 19, just two weeks after “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” in which the actor reprises his role as Groot.
