It’s been over a decade since Riddick last appeared on the big screen, but recent speculation suggests that Vin Diesel may finally be returning to his cult-favorite antihero in a long-anticipated sequel: Riddick: Furya.
Rumors have reignited across Reddit forums and fan pages that Diesel, who originated the role in Pitch Black (2000), is actively developing a return to the bleak sci-fi universe—this time focusing on Riddick’s mysterious homeworld, Furya.
Fan theorists suggest that Furya could serve as both an origin story and a continuation, exploring the legacy of Riddick’s extinct people and potentially introducing other Furyans who survived the Necromonger purge. Whispers point to a darker, more mythological tone, with apocalyptic imagery and themes of vengeance and identity.
