Vin Diesel Confirms Another xXx 3

The third entry is set to start shooting this December.

Vin Diesel's become a bit of a reboot specialist. Back in 2009 he returned to the role of Dom Toretto for Fast and Furious, the fourth entry in the now globally beloved Furious franchise. He repeated the trick to slightly less effect in 2013's Riddick, although the results were still largely positive. Now Diesel has confirmed he'll resuscitate another of his past characters, with a third xXx movie to begin shooting in December. https://instagram.com/p/6vVGJImPkq/?taken-by=vindiesel The original xXx was a solid hit for Diesel back in 2002, racking up $277 million worldwide, but The Diesel-less sequel, entitled xXx: State of the Union, was so atrocious it all but killed the series. In the original Diesel played extreme-sports loving agent Xander Cage, in a film that had some amazing stunt-work, but little else. Reworking past hits has been working for Diesel of late, but this might be the movie that sends him bust. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77ugzcqPoAI No director seems to be officially attached yet, but with principal photography only months away, I'd expect an announcement sharpish.
