According to star Vin Diesel, his new film xXx: Return of Xander Cage might not be the end for the franchise.
Speaking to Variety at the film’s London premiere on Tuesday, he mentioned that Paramount – the studio behind the movie – have already expressed desire for a fourth film in the series.
“Well, it’s funny,” Diesel said when the topic was brought up. “I was in the middle of an interview and Brad Grey (who runs Paramount) calls me and says, ‘Will everybody come back to work in May?’ I’m like – everyone’s in interviews right now!”
Paramount have yet to comment themselves on a potential fourth xXx but it seems like the will is there. We’ll just have to see how the world takes to the current flick.
