xXx: Return of Xander Cage brought the xXx franchise back with real force. Vin Diesel has teased a fourth film and Deepika Padukone has apparently signed on. But is it definitely happening, or just subject to reports?
Will there be a sequel to xXx: Return of Xander Cage?
Return of Xander Cage director DJ Caruso has confirmed a fourth film is in the pipeline in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk.
He said: “We’re discussing the story and how to make that all work, and which characters.
“We’re trying to get everyones schedules to line up again. It’s definitely a discussion because it did so well around the globe.”
So far, Vin Diesel has confirmed his involvement, and even posted an image of himself with Return of Xander Cage co-star Deepika Padukone.
He also asked fans to suggest who they might like to see in the film along with those stars, which led to a flurry of names including Jason Momoa, Leonardo DiCaprio and even Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Since that time, it has been reported Zoe Zhang, Jay Chou and Roy Wang have signed up to join the movie and there are likely more names to sign on.
Return of Xander Cage is the third film in the xXx series and sees Vin Diesel return as the titular secret agent after being seemingly killed off in xXx: State of the Union.

Vin Diesel did not appear in this film,and Ice Cube took on the role of xXx agent Darius Stone to replace him within the franchise.
But after his return, the third xXx film Cage ended with Darius Stone warning “they” – the corrupt world government Jane Marke (Toni Collette) was working for – will come for the xXx team.
Director DJ Caruso told Cinemablend “they” could also refer to a larger threat that is even more powerful.
He added: “I think there’s a bigger ‘they’ 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.
“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?”
Hopefully fans will see the return of Donnie Yen, Ruby Rose, Kris Wu, Rory McCann and Nina Dobrev in the fourth film, but at the moment little has been revealed on the cast.
