Xander Cage is back!

Vin Diesel-starring xXx is on to its third installment bringing back Diesel, and his character Xander Cage, into the fold forxXx: Return of Xander Cage.

“You know they say the world is safer than it’s ever been in the history of civilization,” National Security Agency (NSA) agent Augustus Eugene Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) says at the start of the trailer disagreeing with the statement. Gibbons proves to be right considering Cage and his brand of expertise in the extreme gets called back to work for the NSA.

Cage, thought to be dead as mentioned in the second xXx film State of the Union (the one with Ice Cube), makes his first appearance in the trailer by literally dropping in from a tower and skiing through the jungle. Yes, the jungle. It’s not the only death defying stunt Cage does in the action-packed trailer filled with explosions and a whole new cast of allies for Cage. He’s seen longboarding on the side of a moving car and riding a dirtbike across the ocean.

“We need someone who can walk into a tornado and come out the other side like it was a damn gentle breeze,” Toni Colette’s character, another newcomer to the franchise, says. That’s Cage.

xXx: The Return of Xander Cage will also star Nina Dobrev and Ruby Rose and will premiere Jan. 20, 2017.
