Fast cars and Vin Diesel require no introduction. But beyond being the Fast and Furious man from Hollywood, he was also special agent XXX, and now he is set to return to his role as reluctant spy

Dominic Toretto is a name imprinted on every car enthusiast, closet auto hooligan, you name it. How could it be any different? After all, 10-second quarter mile-drags in souped-up Japanese tuner cars, style, swagger and thrilling chases accompanied by nail-biting action is what Dom (as he is called in the Fast and Furious franchise) excels in. The man who has been bringing this phenomenal character to life on the silver screen through six of the seven films of the franchise has been none other than Hollywood’s Vin Diesel.
So, no, Vin needs no introduction. Especially if it has anything to do with fast-paced action, with some cars and bikes thrown in for good measure. However, Vin also breathed life into Xander Cage – the adrenaline-rush-seeking stuntsman-cum-athlete who becomes a reluctant spy in the Rob Cohen directed XXX in 2002. Thirteen years later, he has announced that he will play Xander once more in the second sequel to Rob’s original.
Indeed, Vin himself announced his return to the franchise by posting a picture of his from the movie on Instagram. “While I was filming XXX, guys on set called me Air Diesel… The time to return has come. Filming starts December in the Philippines,” he said in his Instagram post. We think interesting times lie ahead, don’t you?
