Vin Diesel Confirms xXx Sequel, Shooting To Begin In December

Announcing the news on his Instagram page, Diesel said: “The time to return has come”.

“While I was filming XXX, guys on set called me Air Diesel, ‘ he wrote”. Filming starts December in the Philippines.

Vin Diesel as Xander Cage, a thrill seeking extreme sports enthusiast, stuntman and rebellious athlete-turned-reluctant spy for the National Security Agency who is sent on a unsafe mission to infiltrate a group of potential Russian terrorists.

The second installment, “xXx: State of the Union“, was released in 2005 with Ice Cube taking over the lead role.

Rodriguez, who portrays Leticia “Letty” Ortiz Toretto, the wife of Dominic “Dom” Toretto (Vin Diesel), in the “Fast & Furious” film franchise, from the very first movie, recently chatted with Entertainment Tonight Online. Diesel was signed on to make a sequel, but working on The Pacifier prevented his return.

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.

Listen, we all indulged Diesel the opportunity to jumpstart the moribund Riddick franchise, because he earned it with the success of the Fast and Furious movies.

Vin Diesel’s become a bit of a reboot specialist.

Apparently an audition was set up for Katy, but it is unknown if she was offered the part.

It’s not yet known if Rob Cohen will direct the third movie but it will sure be good to see him and Diesel reunited after the two worked together on the first “Fast and Furious” film.
