Your support makes all the difference.Vin Diesel has acquired the xXx franchise.
The actor – along with his production company One Race Films – teamed up with The H Collective to purchase the series from Revolution studios, who still own the rights to the first three films.
Alongside the announcement reports detailed that a fourth xXx movie is already in development, with D.J. Caruso once again direct, having previously helmed xXx: Return of Xander Cage, and Diesel returning as the leading character.
The three xXx movies have collectively grossed over $600 million and featured acclaimed actors such as Samuel L Jackson, Willem Defoe, Toni Collette, Donnie Yen, and Ice Cube.
H Collective CEO Nic Crawley said in a statement: “During my time at Paramount, I was lucky to be involved in the development and distribution of xXx: Return of Xander Cage.
“The response from the Chinese box office was unprecedented. Bringing the next instalment of the xXx franchise to The H Collective complements our diversified slate and mission to produce content for a global audience.”
Diesel – who will next feature in Avengers: Infinity War as the voice of Groot – now owns two major franchises, the other being The Chronicles of Riddick.
A fourth Riddick film has also been in the works for some time, titled Furia, with writer-director David Twohy developing the story alongside Diesel.
