WWE star Dave Bautista set to kick some ass with Vin Diesel in next Riddick!

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

How’d y’all like that golden-tinged photo of Vinny Diesel we showed you this weekend? You know, the one where he’s lurking in the muck, ready to pounce on any sort of interloper that dare swim by? Regardless, Riddick is back baby…that’s all we need to know!

Well, that and perhaps who else the killer-criminal will showdown with in the David Twohy sequel. You see, THR has it that WWE star David Bautista (seen right) has been added to the cast of CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK: DEAD MAN STALKING. No details were given, but my guess is he’ll play some sort of villain…the last thing Riddick needs is some big swollen dude to steal his shine. That shite ain’t happening!

Currently filming in Montreal:

The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty. The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won’t leave the planet without Riddick’s head as their trophy.

Riddick also sees the return of Karl Urban (STAR TREK) as Vaako and introduces to the series previously announced cast member Jordi Molla as Santana, the arrogant captain of the mercenary ship; Matt Nable (KILLER ELITE) as Boss Johns, a man looking for answers; Katee Sackhoff (“Battlestar Galactica”) as the Nordic mercenary Dahl; and Bokeem Woodbine (DEVIL) as bounty hunter Moss. Rounding out the cast are Dave Bautista (THE SCORPION KING 3: BATTLE FOR REDEMPTION), Conrad Pla (IMMORTALS), Raoul Trujillo (APOCALYPTO), Nolan Funk (“Aliens in America”) and two-time Grammy Award-nominated singer Keri Hilson.
