Ericson Core (Invincible) will direct XXX: The Return of Xander Cage. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Vin Diesel, who had skipped the 2005 sequel that starred Ice Cube, will reprise his role as the extreme athlete turned secret agent. Diesel had original hoped to reteam with the 2002 original film’s director, Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious), but the project had been without a director since June, when Cohen left to make another movie. Diesel and Core have previously worked together on the original The Fast and the Furious, where Core was the cinematographer.

I am pretty stoked…the originall XXX is a guilty pleasure of mine…kinda like “If Looks Could Kill”…
If Looks Could Kill is on of mine as well. Anytime I see it on I can’t help but watch
Is this going to be XXX 1.5, set before State of the Union? ‘Cause they killed off Xander at the beginning of that one.
True they killed him off, but they didn’t show it (I can’t remember as least) and even if they did, how many films have been made about a guy who they thought was dead comes back to kick some major butt? Anyone remember Payback? Or more recently, Jason Bourne…he use thought to be shot dead, and look how that backfired, lol!
