Two new Riddick images rediscover the animal side

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

The official Twitter account for the upcoming Vin Diesel-starring RIDDICK released two new animalistic images just ahead of Comic-Con, and we've got 'em for you below.

Riddick, the latest chapter of the groundbreaking saga that began with 2000’s hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick reunites writer/director David Twohy (A Perfect Getaway, The Fugitive) and star Vin Diesel (the Fast and Furious franchise, xXx). Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy. 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.

These new images highlight the 'primal' side of the Furyan and the dangerous world he inhabits. I'm not sure what that alien hound thing is, but someone throw that thing a bone or something!

Stay tuned as RIDDICK and his furry Furyan companion head down to San Diego for a little Comic-Con action later this week.

RIDDICK stars Vin Diesel, Karl Urban, Jordi Mollà, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff, Dave Bautista, Bokeem Woodbine, Raoul Trujillo, Nolan Gerard Funk. It opens on September 6th.
