Vin Diesel says XXX 3 will begin filming in December

It will be Diesel’s first outing as Xander Cage since Ice Cube stepped in to head up the forgettable XXX: State Of The Union, and it sounds as though the big man is suitably excited to be returning.

A sequel to xXx will finally begin filming in December – you know, just as soon as Xander returns from his vacation in Bora Bora.

There’s no word yet on any of those secondary considerations like plot, character, and the like, but presumably there’s already a truck filled with Monster Energy drinks in the Philippines, ready and waiting for shooting to start.

Diesel played an extreme sports enthusiast and all-around badass who’s recruited to work as a spy for the government.

While taking a break from playing “Call of Duty Black Ops III“, Rodriguez confirmed to the outlet with regards to what has been the buzz regarding where the film will be set.

The movie had a modest theatrical run, winning its opening weekend with a $US44.5 million take and ending up with a $US277 million worldwide gross. It was the first film in the franchise to break the $1 billion barrier as fans flocked to see the final film from Paul Walker. His comeback is expected to bring back the prominence of the franchise.

Vin Diesel’s become a bit of a reboot specialist. Reworking past hits has been working for Diesel of late, but this might be the movie that sends him bust. The “Roar” singer said yes and it was believed that an audition was set up for her but it wasn’t disclosed if she was offered the role.
