During a promotional interview with io9 for his new film The Last Witch Hunter, Vin Diesel has revealed that director D.J. Caruso (Disturbia, Eagle Eye, I Am Number Four) has signed on helm the upcoming action threequel xXx 3.
“I’m excited as hell about XXX,” states Diesel. “D.J. Caruso is directing it, which is exciting. The big question now is which will race to production first now that F. Gary Gray is on [Fast & Furious 8]? Will XXX race to production first or will Fast race to production first?
xXx was released in 2002 and starred Diesel as Xander Cage, an extreme sports enthusiast turned NSA spy. It was followed in 2005 by the Diesel-less sequel xXx: State of the Union, which saw Ice Cube as a new lead.
