RIDDICK 4: FURYA (2025) – A FORGOTTEN WARRIOR’S JOURNEY TO THE ORIGINS
After more than a decade of absence, the brutal warrior Riddick returns to the big screen in “Riddick 4: Furya” – not just to fight, but to find himself. This is the most anticipated film in the epic sci-fi – survival series that has become an icon of Vin Diesel.
🌌 A new chapter for Riddick – And for Furya
More than 20 years since his first appearance in Pitch Black (2000), the character Riddick has become an icon of the dark science fiction genre. Cold, sharp, surviving in all circumstances – Riddick is not a typical hero, but a symbol of pure instinct.
With Riddick: Furya, director David Twohy and star Vin Diesel wanted to do more than just an action movie. They wanted to tell a story about origins, identity, and what makes a warrior.
🧬 Synopsis: Riddick finds himself
Furya – Riddick’s home planet – was once home to a race of warriors with a strong and indomitable fighting spirit. But after a massacre caused by the Necromonger empire, Furya was almost wiped out.
In this part, Riddick – who is considered the last survivor of his race – returns to Furya after years of exile between planets. But instead of ruins, he discovers that there are still Furyan survivors, fighting every day to keep the remnants of their species.
“Riddick is no longer fighting for himself. He is fighting for a people. For a memory. And maybe... to redeem himself.”
– David Twohy (at a press conference in Berlin, 2024)
However, Riddick must not only face the past, but also confront a completely new force – a mysterious enemy with destructive power, and the buried truth about his Furyan bloodline.
🎥 Behind the scenes and production
Filming officially began in August 2024, with locations in Germany, Spain and England.
Vin Diesel also serves as producer, contributing to shaping the dark, deep and "very Riddick" tone.
Scheduled for release in late 2025, Universal Pictures is placing high hopes on the film's success – both artistically and commercially.
💥 Highlights that fans have to look forward to
The planet Furya is recreated for the first time on screen – with a desolate, brutal style but rich in cultural depth.
Riddick is no longer alone: He will face other Furyans – some allies, others enemies.
Action and survival are full of instinct – as has been the brand of the series.
And especially: a secret about Riddick's true origin will be revealed.
🧑🚀 Vin Diesel – More than a role
At the age of over 50, Vin Diesel still maintains the tough warrior style as in the beginning. But with Furya, he is not just an actor – he is the one who inspires a forgotten cinema legend to come back to life.
"Riddick is not a hero. But he is a symbol of survival in a cruel universe." - Vin Diesel shared on his personal Instagram.
