The Riddick series has been stagnant for some time. The last time we saw the space outlaw on the big screen seven years ago. Recently, the actor playing the role of the antihero informed about the situation of another film.
In a video posted on Instagram, Vin Diesel told his followers that the script for the new Riddick is almost finished. The final version is expected to be ready this week. It was the first update regarding this brand since Christmas, when the actor also announced his next projects via social media. You can see the recording below.
The fourth installment of the antihero’s adventures is to be called Riddick 4: Furya and tell the genesis of the title character. The film is being worked on at Universal Studios and is said to have been underway since the premiere of the previous installment in the series. At one point, there were plans for a series set in the same universe, but so far no information about it has emerged. The production was to be called Merc City .
So far, we have been able to follow Riddick’s fate in three acting films, animations, two games for computers and consoles, one for mobile devices, motion comics and two novels. It is not known when the new cinema production will appear.
