Rumor has it, Ice Cube (22 Jump Street, Ride Along 2) will reprise Darius Stone for xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.
Moviehole reports:
Cube’s Darius Stone will be “a treat this time around – very funny, lots of great lines and he gets in on some terrific action sequences”, we’re informed by a solid source. - Moviehole
2002's xXx, starring Vin Diesel as Xander Cage, was a huge box office success. A sequel was quickly green-lit, however, Diesel wasn't able to reprise his role as he was working on The Pacifier. Instead of waiting for his schedule to open, producers cast Ice Cube as the new xXx (Lt. Darius Stone). 2005's xXx: State of the Union bombed at the box office. It cost $131M to produce and only grossed $71M globally.
The cast currently includes Deepika Padukone, Conor McGregor, Samuel L. Jackson, Jet Li, Tony Jaa, Nina Dobrev and Ruby Rose.
XXX: The Return of Xander Cage -- directed by D.J. Caruso and written by F. Scott Frazier -- will be released in 2017.
