Before Vin Diesel was one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, he starred in several action films in the early 2000s. One of these was 2000's Pitch Black. The film was not a big hit among critics, who were divided between its potential but relatively weak storyline. Despite the relative lack of critical success, Pitch Black made just enough money to make it worth investing at least two more in 2004 and 2013, the former of which was considered a box office flop.
With that said, it appears that a fourth film in the Riddick franchise, which has developed a cult following, is in the works.
Is the fourth Riddick film confirmed already?
You can't exactly blame Diesel for his decision to invest heavily in the Fast & Furious franchise. Although his other franchises, XXX and Riddick have earned the actor several millions over the years, the racing-centric media franchise is worth billions.
