While fans love Vin Diesel for playing Dom Toretto in the Fast and Furious franchise, his other character, Riddick is one they are longing for. The actor knows what fans want and has been teasing steadily the next entry in the franchise, Riddick: Furya. The movie started production last year, and we have seen the behind-the-scenes images already. Now the actor is teasing that some sort of announcement on the way.
The actor took to Instagram and shared an image of himself in character with a simple caption, “Incoming…” Fans are going gaga in his comments section and the hype is real around the project. The film has been in production for some time, so we might be in for a treat as a teaser might be on its way.
What to Expect From ‘Riddick: Furya’?
While the plot details are kept tightly under wraps for Riddick: Furya writer-director David Twohy, previously teased, “Our legion fans have demanded it for years, and now we’re finally ready to honor their call-to-action with Riddick: Furya. This new big-screen event will see a return to Riddick’s home world, where we finally get to explore Riddick’s genesis.”
Back in 2000’s Diesel cemented his action star status in Hollywood with cult classic Pitch Black, where the character of Riddick first appeared. The movie’s success was followed by two sequels 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick and the third live-action film of the franchise, Riddick. Riddick tried to reach his home in the third installment but failed and it seems like the upcoming movie will pick up where it left. No cast has been announced yet. Though the third installment saw Diesel starring alongside Jordi Mollà, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff, Dave Bautista, Bokeem Woodbine, Raoul Trujillo, and Karl Urban.
The upcoming feature will finally take him home, a place he barely remembers and one he fears might be left in ruins by the Necromongers. Riddick will also find other Furyans fighting for their existence against a new enemy and will come to a realization that some of these Furyans are more like him than he could have ever imagined. The previously released concept art also aims to portray evolution as a Furyan. It’ll be fascinating to see Riddick finally exploring his past after so many years.
No release date has been set for Riddick: Furya.
