LOS ANGELES, July 20 — Vin Diesel is back and he’s in the thick of action yet again with xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.
The new action instalment sees Diesel returning to his role as an extreme-sports enthusiast turned reluctant spy, Xander Cage, who is forced out of retirement for a dangerous new assignment.
Emerging from self-imposed exile, Xander finds himself up against alpha warrior Xiang (played by Donnie Yen) and his team in a race to recover a sinister and seemingly unstoppable weapon known as Pandora’s Box.
The synopsis of the film reads: “The third explosive chapter of the blockbuster franchise that redefined the spy thriller finds extreme athlete turned government operative Xander Cage (Diesel) coming out of self-imposed exile and on a collision course with deadly alpha warrior Xiang (Yen) and his team in a race to recover a sinister and seemingly unstoppable weapon known as Pandora’s Box. Recruiting an all-new group of thrill-seeking cohorts, Xander finds himself enmeshed in a deadly conspiracy that points to collusion at the highest levels of world governments. Packed with the series’ signature deadpan wit and bad-ass attitude, xXx: The Return of Xander Cage will raise the bar on extreme action with some of the most mind-blowing stunts to ever be caught on film.”
Also in the film are Samuel L. Jackson, Ruby Rose, Deepika Padukone, Nina Dobrev, Donnie Yen, Tony Jaa, Kris Wu, Conor McGregor, Hermione Corfield and Toni Collette.
xXx: The Return of Xander Cage is set for release on January 20, 2017.
