After being passed up for the villain role in J.J Abrams‘ Star Trek 2, Jordi Molla wasted no time in finding another villain role, which seems to be his forte .
Variety reports that the Spanish actor is in negotiations to play the villain role in the upcoming Riddick sequel and will go toe to toe with Vin Diesel. Molla would be playing the role of Santana, who is a mercenary that heads up a gang to find and kill Riddick.
Production is back under way on the film after it was forced to stop while the producers finalized funding. There has been a lot of ups and downs for the film recently but Diesel is very excited about it and very passionate with the series. If Molla comes to terms with the negotiations, I feel he will make one hell of a villain since it is what he does best. Molla was last seen as the villain in Colombiana, but is probably more famous for his role as Johnny Tapia in Bad Boys II. I wonder if Molla ever gets tired of being the bad guy in films and really desires to be the hero just once… I guess he will have to keep waiting for that role.
