Against all odds, and that’s including a middling sequel that almost sentenced the action series to an early grave, Xander Cage is gearing up for an appropriately flamboyant comeback in 2017 with the release of xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.
Heralding Vin Diesel’s return as the title character, The Return of Xander Cage is packed to the rafters with a truly eclectic cast, and features everyone from John Wick: Chapter 2 star Ruby Rose to Neymar Jr., the Brazilian playmaker currently leading the strike force at FC Barcelona.
Elsewhere in the gallery below, you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of Diesel’s other co-stars, including Toni Collette, Furious 7 alum Tony Jaa, Nina Dobrev, Deepika Padukone and Andrey Ivchenko as the film’s big bad. What’s curious is that there’s no sign of Samuel L. Jackson as NSA Agent Augustus Gibbons.
Nevertheless, in typical Hollywood fashion, this deluge of character posters is set to be a primer for the actioner’s all-new trailer, one due to storm onto the interwebs tomorrow, November 1. Check back to We Got This Covered then, as we’ll have full coverage of the all-new snippet for xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, which opens on January 20, 2017.
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 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.
