Professional wrestler and actor Dave Bautista is joining Vin Diesel in "Riddick," which started filming Friday.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Bautista will be in "9/10ths of the film," which is directed by David Twohy and will follow 2000's "Pitch Black" and 2004's "Chronicles of Riddick."
Bautista, who is a WWE superstar, starred in the direct-to-video "The Scorpian King 3: Battle for Redemption" and will appear in the forthcoming "Man With the Iron Fists."
Diesel meanwhile 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.
"Riddick," which is shooting in Montreal, Canada, is a One Race Films production. The film will be released by Universal Pictures in the U.S., and Lionsgate is handling international sales.
