Riddick
Riddick 4 is in development. It’s moving forward despite the fact it’s been in the works for a long time and something new in artwork has already given a glimpse of the kind of action viewers can expect from the sequel. In the years since Vin Diesel last played Riddick, he’s been quite busy. With his Fast & Furious franchise and potentially his involvement in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy films coming to an end, Diesel has plans for a new TV series. It appears that he is looking to resurrect the popular character for the first time in more than a decade.
What are “Riddick” movies about?
Some 15 years after the events of Pitch Black, Riddick is forced to fight for his life on a savage planet that has become home to Necromongers and other lethal alien species. The way some fans have been waiting for the Riddick movie is not very long, but it is not surprising too. The genre has always been popular in Hollywood and there are a lot of movies that are yet to be told. Vin Diesel has also appeared in some Wild Bunch movies and action figures, according to the report.
The expected plot of “Riddick 4”
The movie is expected to be written by David Twohy and Sylvester Stallone. Stallone is also planning a Riddick action figure, according to the report. The script reportedly includes a scene in which Riddick wages war against an entire army of Necromongers.

As reported by some fans, the sequel will be back to Pitch Black roots. Pitch Black is special because it was the first time Riddick appeared and also it’s one of the few movies that includes his famous quote “I’m not leaving this place until I kill every mother —er on this planet.” Director David Twohy has said that Riddick 4 will have a dark tone and will have much more in common with “Death Sentence” than “Pitch Black”.
The cast of the movie
- Vin Diesel as Riddick
- Katee Sackhoff as Dahl
- Karl Urban as Vaako
- Dave Bautista as Diaz

Inspiration of the movie
In the first Riddick movie, the director David Twohy was inspired by Forbidden Planet and Dark Star. Originally he wanted to film Pitch Black in live-action, but studios felt it was too costly and decided to give script writing to David Twohy. He had a very good job in this movie.
The next movie, Chronicles of Riddick, was cheaper to make and it was less expensive as well as more suitable. The film is also based on a comic book named “Riddick”, and it gives the idea about a man who is known for being unusual but in this case, he’s normal. There are some similarities between Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick, but the story of the sequel is completely different.
Background of the movie
The first movie, Pitch Black, was released in 2000 and it received two sequels: “The Chronicles of Riddick”, in 2004, and “Riddick”, in 2013. The original movie has been a huge success with more than $100 million in box office revenue. In the year 2000, Universal Studios also wanted to feature Vin Diesel in the sequel of this movie, but he declined. As mentioned before, Riddick is back as well. He is back and he has a new look. The only chance to see him in the first movie was when he entered the spaceship with Cole and Johns. In the sequel, he will be played by Vin Diesel.
The released date of the movie
For now, Riddick: Furya is not expected to operate until midway through 2023, which suggests the screen adaptation of Riddick won’t release until 2024.
In conclusion,
Many fans have been waiting for Riddick 4 for a very long time, some of them for 15 years, and now at last it’s about to appear. The movie is being written by David Twohy which shows that the sequel will be extremely different from the other Riddick movies. Many people like the high action of this movie so I think that they won’t be disappointed by Riddick 4.
