Tony Jaa and Jet Li To Join Vin Diesel in XXX: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE
I was never a big fan of the XXX franchise, so this third film isn’t really that big of a deal to me. Vin Diesel is set to reprise his role in the new film, called XXX: The Return of Xander Cage, and he will be reuniting with Samuel L. Jackson in the movie. Now it looks like a couple of heavy martial arts hitters will be joining the project!
According to Twitch, the DJ Caruso-directed film has cast action stars Jet Li and Tony Jaa in the sequel. Also joining the project is Indian superstar actress Deepika Padukone, who will be one of Xander’s allies in the story.
There’s no word on who they will be playing in the film, but if the martial arts stars actually have decent sized roles, and we’ll get to see them show off some of their badass fighting skills, that would be worth the price of admission for me! It would be even better if we got to see them face off against each other!
It was already revealed by Diesel that UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor has also joined the film, so it seems like there could be a lot of hardcore fight sequences to watch in this thing.
