Next January, Vin Diesel will be making his next theatrical appearance in xXx: Return of Xander Cage. The action franchise is returning after a brief hiatus, and it looks like fans aren't the only ones hyped for the film's release. Earlier today, Diesel took time to promote the film in Brazil on what he calls the first stop of his global tour.
"Right now, we're going to create history. This is the first stop on our global tour. Our global tour starts here in Brazil," he told attendees at Brazil Comic Con.
On Sunday, the actor announced he would be attending the massive convention with co-stars Ruby Rose and Nina Dobrev. Diesel took to Facebook to get fans excited for his arrival.
"Tomorrow we start our tour by going to Brazil," Diesel explained. "So, this week we'll be in Brazil. And I was fortunate to be a part of the San Diego Comic Con; I was fortunate to experience the New York Comic Con. Never did I think I would be invited to the Brazil Comic Con; and that's what this week is. And so, I'm very-very excited to show parts of XXX[: The Return of Xander Cage], the new XXX — which I'm so excited for."
The third explosive chapter of the blockbuster franchise that redefined the spy thriller finds extreme athlete turned government operative Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) coming out of self-imposed exile and on a collision course with deadly alpha warrior Xiang (Donnie 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.
The film stars Vin Diesel ("Guardians of the Galaxy") and Donnie Yen ("Ip Man"). It also includes Bollywood star Deepika Padukone ("Tamasha"), Tony Jaa ("Furious 7"), Ruby Rose ("Orange Is the New Black"), mixed martial-arts sensation Conor McGregor, Nina Dobrev ("The Vampire Diaries"), Kris Wu ("Somewhere Only We Know"), Hermione Corfield ("Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation"), with Toni Collette ("The Sixth Sense") and Samuel L. Jackson ("The Avengers").
D.J. Caruso ("I Am Number Four") is directing xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. The film is written by Chad St. John ("London Has Fallen") with current revisions by F. Scott Frazier ("Collider").
xXx: The Return of Xander Cage is hitting theaters January 20, 2017.
