The first trailer for xXx: The Return of Xander Cage is here, giving us a full view of what to expect from Paramount's third volume in the franchise and it's some next-level, in-your-face goofiness along with a healthy dose of ass-kicking. When the extreme athlete turned government operative Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) comes out of his self-imposed exile, he finds himself embroiled in a mission to find the deadly weapon known as Pandora's Box and uncover conspiratorial corruption in the highest levels of world governments. That, and do some sweet grinds on the side of a bus.

The third xXx film is directed by D.J. Caruso (Disturbia, The Salton Sea), and penned by Chad St. John (London Has Fallen) and F. Scott Frazier (The Numbers Station), adapted from characters originated by Rich Wilkes. The film co-stars Ruby Rose, Nina Dobrev, Toni Collette, Donnie Yen, Tony Jaa, Deepika Padukone, and Rory McCann of Game of Thrones fame. Samuel L. Jackson also returns as Agent Augustus Gibbons to drop some killer dialogue like, "Kick some ass, and try to look dope while you do it."
