The actor, who last played the action hero back in 2002, announced the news on his Instagram:
While I was filming XXX, guys on set called me Air Diesel… The time to return has come. Filming starts December in the Philippines. #ILiveForThisShitA photo posted by Vin Diesel (@vindiesel) on Aug 23, 2015 at 1:36pm PDT
Diesel will be returning to the series after skipping out on 2005’s xXx: State of the Union, which starred Ice Cube and was critically panned.
The third installment of the series is said to follow Xander after he was left for dead, and secretly returns to action in a high stakes mission!
The script for xXx 3 is penned by the writers of Terminator 3, Terminator: Salvation, and Catwoman… but hey, it’s got Vin Diesel!
Now that Vin has rejoined the franchise, will YOU be seeing The Return of Xander Cage when it hits in 2017?
