Jet Li’s role is currently unknown, but this should be a classic fight!

[dropcap size=small]T[/dropcap]here have been countless fight scenes involving Jet Li in his acting career that are titled as epic, amazing, legendary, etc. For his next stint, he will star in xXx 3: The Return of Xander Cage and he will be fighting Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) himself.

Li’s role in the movie has yet to be disclosed, but he will be the leader of his own team. Whether he is the main antagonist or not remains to be seen. 

“xXx 3: The Return of Xander Cage is one of the jewels in Revolution Studio’s library, and we’re giving the devoted fans more of what they want by expanding the franchise and introducing new and extreme action characters like Jet Li’s,” said Revolution CEO Vince Totino.

Revolution COO Scott Hemming added: “We are extremely excited to have Jet Li join the cast of xXx 3: The Return of Xander Cage as Raif, who is pitted against Vin Diesel’s Xander Cage, and watch these two in action as they raise the bar with some of the most incredible stunts on film.”

Li’s role in the movie was revealed weeks ago, but now the negotiations are finally complete. Jennifer Lopez was rumored to be interested in joining the cast, but negotiations failed due to scheduling and dealmaking, according to sources.

Joe Roth will be the producer with new partner, Jeff Kirchenbaum, Diesel and his producing partner, Samantha Vincent; who happens to be Diesel’s sister. Totino and Hemming of Revolution are in charge of acting and distributor deals for the movie. The script is written by F. Scott Frazier and D.J. Caruso. 

No distribution deal has been made, but the consensus is Paramount is the favorite for xXx 3: Return of Xander Cage.

xXx 3: Return of Xander Cage will begin filming in Toronto and Dominican Republic in February!
