Riddick: Furya is an upcoming American science fiction action film written and directed by David Twohy and based on the character Richard B. Riddick by the Wheat Brothers. It is the fourth installment in The Chronicles of Riddick film series and a sequel to Riddick (2013). It stars Vin Diesel as the eponymous character.

Premise

Riddick finally returns to his home world, 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.

Cast

Vin Diesel as Richard B. Riddick, last of the Furyan race and notorious criminal outlaw.

Production

= Development =

In April 2016, Vin Diesel confirmed that he and writer-director David Twohy were developing a fourth Riddick movie titled Furia and a spin-off TV series titled Merc City. In May 2016, he explained that production on Furia may begin in early 2017. In a video Vin Diesel asked, "Are you guys excited to hear about Furia? Do you want to know where it all began with that dark character Riddick?" David Twohy confirmed that the new film would be rated R. The posts did not elaborate on how, if at all, Merc City would be connected to the upcoming film. By July 2019, the script was completed and the official title was changed to Riddick: Furya.

In February 2023, the film was officially announced, with Diesel and Twohy reuniting for the fourth installment of the franchise.
