Netflix Officially Says Goodbye to Vin Diesel’s 119-Minute Sci-Fi Epic



[

Thanks to his role in the Fast & Furious movies, Vin Diesel is widely known as one of the biggest movie stars in the world. It’s been a while since Diesel played a role in live-action other than Dominic Toretto — excluding the Guardians of the Galaxy films, where he voices Groot but does not do the motion capture work for the character. Back in 2020, Diesel starred in the maligned superhero movie, Bloodshot, which bombed at the box office, grossing only $39 million globally against a $45 million budget. The film has since found a streaming home on Hulu. Diesel is confirmed to return for one final ride as Dominic Toretto in Fast Forever, which is currently scheduled to be released on March 27, 2028. His co-star, Alan Ritchson, has cast doubt on the film making that deadline, though.

Dominic Toretto is easily the most famous role of Diesel’s career, but some fans would argue they prefer Riddick, from the series of sci-fi movies of the 2000s and 2010s. Diesel most recently played the character in the 2013 film, Riddick, which co-stars Karl Urban from The Boys and Katee Sackhoff from The Mandalorian. Riddick has found a streaming home on Netflix this year, but fans will soon have to find another way to watch the $38 million sci-fi film. Netflix just announced in the last week that Riddick is leaving streaming at the end of the month, meaning the last day to watch the film will be on August 31. Pitch Black (2000) and The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) will also be leaving Netflix at the end of August with no new streaming home in sight.



















































Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz
Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive?
The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars

Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.

💊The Matrix

🔥Mad Max

🌧️Blade Runner

🏜️Dune

🚀Star Wars

01

You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do?
The first instinct is often the truest one.





02

In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely?
What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.





03

What kind of threat keeps you up at night?
Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.





04

How do you deal with authority you don’t trust?
Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.





05

Which environment could you actually endure long-term?
Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.





06

Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart?
The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.





07

Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all?
Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.





08

What would actually make survival worth it?
Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.





Your Fate Has Been Calculated
You’d Survive In…

Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.


The Resistance, Zion

The Matrix

You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.

  • You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
  • You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
  • You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
  • The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.


The Wasteland

Mad Max

The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.

  • You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
  • You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
  • You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
  • In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.


Los Angeles, 2049

Blade Runner

You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.

  • You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
  • In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
  • You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
  • In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.


Arrakis

Dune

Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.

  • Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
  • You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
  • Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
  • In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.


A Galaxy Far, Far Away

Star Wars

The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

  • You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
  • You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
  • You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
  • In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.

What’s Next for Vin Diesel After ‘Fast Forever’?

Fast Forever may seem like the end of the road for Vin Diesel’s role as Dominic Toretto, but it’s likely he’ll still be involved in whatever the franchise has going on after the movie is out of theaters. It’s been confirmed that Peacock is working on at least one Fast & Furious TV show, with Diesel set to produce and potentially even reprise his role as Toretto in the show. Diesel is also bringing Michael Caine out of retirement for a sequel to The Last Witch Hunter, and he’s reportedly working on a new Riddick movie, but it’s unclear at this time when or if either will be released.

Check out the Riddick movies before they’re removed from Netflix at the end of the month and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Vin Diesel’s future projects.
