xXx is one of the most bad-ass secret agents that we had the chance to see on big screens. Vin Diesel introduced us to this character almost 15 years ago. It seemed like this project didn’t interest him all that much because it was on cooling for some time only to have Ice Cube play xXx in the second installment. Ice was killed off so what we have now is the third movie in the franchise that carries the name xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage. Title said it all, Vin Diesel is back in the role of Xander Cage aka xXx and if you take a look at the poster, he is as bad-ass as he can get.
The poster is simple, but it said a lot about the movie. Together with a teaser trailer that we saw earlier, it creates a certain image. This film will be full of action, stunts, exotic locations, vehicles, women, guns, etc. Action movie at its best.
At the same time, it pays homage to the old James Bond posters. It is not only that it shadows them, but at the same time, it also jokes on them. xXx is a movie that admires Bond and makes a mockery of everything that it represents at the same time. This was present in previous installments of xXx, but it is more expressed in this one.
The poster will not be the only thing that brings us closer to the January premiere of xXx as Paramount also announced that full trailer for xXx: The Return of Xander Cage will be made public one day after the movie poster.
If movies poster and upcoming trailer are not enough for you, there is teaser-trailer that is few months old so take another look at that.
Xander Cage is returning, but together with him, we will have a couple of old and a couple of new faces on the set. Some of them got their posters too.
First one is Augustus Gibbons portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson. He is the program leader of NSA in the world of xXx.
Next, we go to the bad guy of this movie. He is Xiang played by Donnie Yen. We think he is the perfect choice to play Vin Diesel’s nemesis in this installment.
Now it’s time to look at the lovelier part of the cast. xXx was always surrounded by beautiful and deadly women, and that is the case now. Deepika Padukone will play Serena. If she’ll get along with Xander is yet to be seen.
Last but not least is Ruby Rose which will play Adele. Her character is on the good side if xXx can be called a ‘good’ guy. After roles in upcoming Resident Evil and the second installment of John Wick, she will star in another action movie. It seems she fits the genre just about right.
At the end the most important part. xXx: The Return of Xander Cage will first air in theaters starting on 20th January of 2017.
