According to a film synopsis for the upcoming "XXX: Return of Xander Cage" sequel, it follows the exploits of government operative Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) who was thought to be dead a long time ago. Xander suddenly comes out of a self-imposed exile and is set on a collision course with the deadly alpha warrior Xiang (Donnie Yen) and his team to recover a sinister and seemingly unstoppable weapon known as the Pandora's Box. Recruiting an all-new group of thrill-seeking cohorts, Xander finds himself enmeshed in a deadly conspiracy that points to the collision at the highest levels of world governments.
With that said, the upcoming 2017 "XXX: Return of Xander Cage" features an excellent cast. It will be led by Vin Diesel (Xander Cage) and Samuel L. Jackson (Augustus Eugene Gibbons). Other notable cast members include Donnie Yen (Xiang), Deepika Padukone (Serena Unger) , Tony Jaa (Talon), Nina Dobrev (Rebecca Clearidge), Ruby Rose (Adele Wolff), Rory McCann (Tennyson), Kris Wu (Harvard) and Ariadna Guttierrez (Gina Roff).
Speaking of Ariadna Guttierez, before she was became part of the cast for "XXX: Return of Xander Cage," she entered the spotlight after she was mistakenly announced as the winner of the Miss Universw pageant by Steve Harvey in 2015. However, it seems that her rejection from the pageant turned out to be a blessing as she now stars in "XXX: Return of Xander Cage" as potentially Vin Diesel's new flame.
"XXX: Return of Xander Cage" will be released by Paramount Pictures. The film is scheduled to hit the theaters on January 20, 2017 in 2D, Real 3D and IMAX 3D.
