Riddick is currently filming in Montreal and Universal Pictures announced the cast list last week, which includes Vin Diesel, Karl Urban, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff, Bokeem Woodbine, Conrad Pla, Raoul Trujillo, Nolan Funk, and Keri Hilson.
It is now being reported that former WWE star Dave Bautista (Pictured Below) has been cast as the villain of the film. There are no other details about his character at this time, except for the fact that he's named "Diaz" and is expected to appear throughout most of the movie. It will be interesting to see him go up against Vin Diesel, as Riddick has not had a physical match in the previous two films.
“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.”
