Vin Diesel Still Plans to Make 'xXx 3' with Production in Phillippines
After Kojak, Diesel somewhat surprisingly said he’ll be returning to the xXx franchise for a third film:
“I am going to do the next xXx which will be filming in part in the Philippines, which I’m very, very, very excited about.”
The last solid update we had about xXx 3 was back in 2012, but it appears that Diesel is still keen on leading another entry in the series. The actor starred in the 2002 original film as an extreme sport athlete-turned-spy for director Rob Cohen, and the pic was followed by xXx: State of the Union in 2005 with Ice Cube taking over the lead role. Again, we haven’t heard anything about xXx 3 in years, but Diesel seems pretty confident that the film is happening, going so far as to give a specific shooting location.
