A fourth Riddick movie, Riddick: Furya, is currently in production. The action star Vin Diesel has teased Riddick: Furya, the fourth installment. In a powerful new post on social media, Diesel teases the character’s other-worldly new abilities when he returns in his long-awaited role.

Following up on the much grander adventure in 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick, Riddick received mixed reviews from critics but remains one of Diesel’s most memorable characters. As a result, Riddick: Furya will explore the character’s mysterious origins.
