Under the deal, Revolution Studios retains rights to the first three films, which have collectively grossed nearly USD 1 billion worldwide.
DJ Caruso, who directed “xXx: Return of Xander Cage”, will return for the new film, with Diesel reprising his role as extreme sports athlete-turned-reluctant agent Xander Cage, reported Variety.
Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum will produce the project along with Diesel, Samantha Vincent for One Race Films and the H Collective.
Diesel first played Xander Cage in 2002’s Rob Cohen-directed “xXx”. However, the actor was missing from the sequel, “xXx: State of the Union”, which was released in 2005.
He made a comeback to the franchise with 2017’s “xXx: Return of Xander Cage”, which also starred Deepika Padukone, Ruby Rose, Samuel L Jackson, Nina Dobrev and Toni Collette.
