Donnie Yen dangled above our heads.
Vin Diesel talked about not returning for xXx 2.
This and more as we go on set with Xander Cage…
This article comes fromDen of Geek UK.
The vehicles were static, the engines were off, and not one of them was occupied.
It finally dawned on us this was the set.
Not so, it seems withxXx 3.
At least, not in the case of Yen.
Im kind of teasing him a little bit, catch me if you could.
So its a race between Donnie Yen and Vin to get across the city.
What was really critical was what can we show you that youve never seen before?.
Thats a phenomenal sequence that you havent seen before.

But riding on a motorcycle … there will be a lot of stunts, Im not a motorcycle specialist.
Thats something that Ive never done before, something I find very challenging and exciting.

I think its going to create a lot of attention.
What I wanted to do on the onset ofxXxwas one step further.
Literally going into other film markets.

It was the same with Donnie Yen.
Thats why it feels like it was more than just a ploy to slot in those characters.
The only downside to this is that it presents some logistical issues.
His response is simple: How do I feel right now?
You remember at the beginning there was a spy in a tuxedo and he didnt fit in anymore.
Since the first movie, the spy genre has been through a huge change.
