Jet Li has been confirmed for the antagonist role in the film and he’ll be going head to head with franchise star, Vin Diesel. Xander Cage will certainly be tested by Li’s martial arts abilities!
Li joins the cast already in place of Vampire Diaries’ Nina Dobrev, Bollywood star Deepika Padukone, Orange Is the New Black’s Ruby Rose, UFC fighter Conor McGregor and Avengers star Samuel L. Jackson.
Plot details are being held back for now but THR reports that Li will lead his own team, which will square off against Diesel. “xXx 3: The Return of Xander Cage is one of the jewels in Revolution Studio’s library, and we’re giving the devoted fans more of what they want by expanding the franchise and introducing new and extreme action characters like Jet Li’s,” said Revolution CEO Vince Totino.
xXx 3 does not yet have a release date.
