xXx 4 release date, cast, trailer, plot: All you need to know about Vin Diesel movie

With three box-office successes under his belt, Xander Cage is back.

After sitting out the second movie in the series, Vin Diesel is reprising his role as a sports-enthusiast turned spy.

Given xXx: The return of Xander Cage earned more than $346 million off a budget of $85 m, it seemed undeniable a fourth movie would be made.

Here’s all you need to know about the fourth instalment in the xXx franchise…

What is the release date of xXx 4?

No release date has been set yet but a 2020 release is likely.

The fourth instalment is set to begin its production this December 2018.

Who stars in xXx 4?

Vin Diesel is not only set to reprise his role but is also taking a more hands-on approach to production.

Vin Diesel’s production company One Race Films and The H Collective bought the rights to the xXx franchise.

Other confirmed cast members include Deepika Padukone, who starred in xXx: The return of Xander Cage as Serena Unger.

Nina Dobrev is also set to reprise her role as Agent Becky Clearidge.

Cinemablend writer Adam Holmes wrote: “Samuel L. Jackson is likely to reprise NSA agent Augustus Eugene Gibbons since he appeared in all the previous entries.”

D.J. Caruso who helmed the previous xXx movies, as well as Disturbia, Eagle Eye and I Am Number Four, will return to direct the fourth xXx.

What is the plot of xXx 4?

Very few details are known about the plot.

However, director D.J. Caruso did let slip his vision for the sequel.

Speaking to Collider, Caruso said: “I think there’s a bigger ‘they’re’ at play that we talked about.

“We also talked about, particularly with the political climate as it is now, not that we’re such a hugely political movie, but Sam [Jackson] talks about how we need someone to watch the watchers…

“So that’s kind of the idea with the next one,” Caruso added.

“And then, if we can expand on that, what would the world leaders do if they know that these were the people watching the watchers?”

Is there a trailer for xXx 4?

Not yet, but watch this space for when one finally drops.
