Vin Diesel Shares Photos from The Set of XXX: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE

It’s been 14 years since Vin Diesel starred in the original xXx as Xander Cage, an extreme sports athlete and anti-government activist who was recruited to be a special agent by the NSA. And Diesel isn’t going to let a little thing like death get in the way of Xander Cage’s comeback!

On his facebook page, Diesel posted two photos from the set of xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. In the first pic, Diesel posed in front of a greenscreen, presumably with one of the actresses who will appear in the film.

The second picture features Diesel with director D.J. Caruso and the producers of xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.

“The Director, producers and myself sitting in wonder as we take in the artistry of the many craftsmen that have built these amazing sets,” wrote Diesel. “You can tell the first day what level of crew you will be working with and it is clear that xXx has the very best.”

When Diesel dropped out of the first xXx sequel, his character was said to have been assassinated in xXx: State of the Union. The xXx: State of the Union DVD even featured a short film that supposedly depicted Cage’s death with a Diesel look alike. It’s not clear whether the third xXx movie will even address Cage’s previous demise or if it will simply ignore it.

Samuel L. Jackson will reprise his role as Cage’s handler, Augustus Gibbons for his third appearance in the franchise. There’s even a rumor that Ice Cube could make a return appearance as the second xXx, Darium Stone. Tony Jaa, Jet Li, Deepika Padukone, Nina Dobrev, and Ruby Rose are also slated to star in xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.
