Vin Diesel returns in xXx: Return of Xander Cage, the sequel to the little-remembered blockbuster from 14 years ago.

His character had been killed off as Diesel didn't wanna do a sequel initially and was replaced by Ice Cube. But given how well the Fast and Furious franchise has performed, he's trying to kickstart another nostalgic action trip.

This is also the film that Conor McGregor was slated to appear in, but he pulled out after losing to Nate Diaz and was replace by UFC Middleweight Champion, Michael Bisping.

DJ Caruso directs and it hits Irish cinemas in January.
