Vin Diesel promises fourth Riddick movie ‘closer than you think’

September 27th, 2021 by Marc Comments

We reported a few weeks back that we may not be too far away from more Riddick video games and the fourth movie in the sci-fi saga, Furiosa, is also coming.

And now star Diesel has taken to social media (below), saying Furya “may be closer than you think”.

Which is good news for fans of Diesel’s unique anti-hero.

First appearing as Riddick in Pitch Black in 2000, Diesel has worked with writer/creator David Twothy on The Cronicles of Riddick (2004) and Riddick in 2013 and now the duo are reuniting for the fourth outing of Richard B Riddick.

The fourth movie, as we already knew, was to be called Riddick: Furya and it seems that’s still the case, with Twothy having finished the script and filming getting ready to go.

“David Twohy, he wrote a great script. It’s just a matter of timing when we get that opportunity to shoot that,” Diesel says.

“But I believe we’re shooting that in Australia. And it would be the fourth chapter in that series, which would be awesome.”

Are you excited for more Riddick adventures? I know we here at FTN HQ are…

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
