Production
Development
In April 2016, Vin Diesel confirmed that he and writer-director David Twohy were developing a fourth Riddick movie titled Furia and a spin-off TV series titled Merc City. In May 2016, he explained that production on Furia may begin in early 2017. In a video Vin Diesel asked, "Are you guys excited to hear about Furia? Do you want to know where it all began with that dark character Riddick?" David Twohy confirmed that the new film would be rated R. The posts did not elaborate on how, if at all, Merc City would be connected to the upcoming film.[2] By July 2019, the script was completed and the official title was changed to Riddick: Furya.[3]
In February 2023, the film was officially announced, with Diesel and Twohy reuniting for the fourth installment of the franchise.[1]
Filming
