Vampire Diaries star
Nina Dobrev and Orange Is The New Black breakout star Ruby Rose are in
negotiations to join the cast of xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.
According to The
Hollywood Reporter, Dobrev will play a "witty and sarcastic techie", while
Rose will play a sniper.
The project will be a
reboot for the Vin Diesel centered franchise, and will surround him with a team
of "sexy badasses and comic relief players", mimicking Diesel's other
and more successful franchise, Fast & Furious.
Production is expected
to begin later this month, and filming will take place in Toronto and the Philippines.
Besides Diesel, xXx: The Return of
Xander Cage also stars Samuel L. Jackson, Jet Li, Tony Jaa, UFC fighter Conor
McGregor, and Deepika Padukone, who we thought was already locked but according
to THR is still in negotiations. The Bollywood superstar is set to play a
huntress who just so happens to be Cage's (Diesel) former lover.
xXx: The Return of
Xander Cage will be directed by D.J. Caruso (I Am Number Four, Disturbia).
