The brief clip shows Diesel chase Rogue One actor Donnie Yen on motorbikes that turn into water skis in mid-air as they hit the ocean.
The Return of Xander Cage dropped a first trailer earlier this year clocking up a staggering 100 million views in just two days, figures that signal Diesel's star power. The trailer for another of his films, Fast & Furious 8 (which has been handed a memorably brilliant US title), became the fastest viewed in YouTube history earlier this month.
The first xXx film was released by Sony in 2002 following The Fast and the Furious' success in 2000. Diesel was unable to return for poorly-received sequel State of the Union due to filming commitments - Ice Cube starred instead - but with this level of excitement building for the third entry, it's fair to deduce that xXx minus Diesel doesn't work.
Also along for the ride is Toni Collette and an assortment of recognisable faces from the world of US TV including Ruby Rose (Orange is the New Black), Nina Dobrev (The Vampire Diaries) and the Hound himself, Rory McCann (Game of Thrones).
xXx 3: The Return of Xander Cage is released in the UK on 19 January.
