Vin Diesel and Donnie Yen tease the new xXx movie; trailer hits tomorrow

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

xXx The Return of Xander Cage banner

The third chapter of the 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. Ya know, because 'on the nose' is where it's at! 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. Who's up for some teasers?!?

The teaser for a trailer bit is nothing new at this point, but these small glimpses at the film actually look pretty favorable. Besides . . . Donnie Yen. I'm really not too concerned about the continuity of the "franchise", given that Xander is supposed to be dead, but I do hope this chapter is more fun than the previous installments (none of which I really cared about). Welcome to the Xander zone!

XXX: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE will open in theaters on January 20, 2017.
