The “Fast & Furious” actor originally appeared as the extreme-athlete-turned-government-agent in the 2002 film, which also starred Samuel L. Jackson and Asia Argento. Diesel was originally signed on for the 2005 sequel, “XXX: State of the Union”, but dropped out. His departure led to Ice Cube taking on the lead role as another agent in the XXX program.

Rumours about a third “XXX” supposedly titled “The Return Of Xander Cage” with Diesel has been going on for years. As of now, no further details has been released so stay tuned as we will continue to update this post when news roll in.

Diesel’s next film is “The Last Witch Hunter”, which will hit theatres on October 23rd.
