xXx: The Return of Xander Cage Adds Former Miss Colombia To Cast

Reports’ making the news is that Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez has joined the ensemble of Vin Diesel’s xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. Starring alongside the likes of Orange is the New Black‘s Ruby Rose, Nina Dobrev and Bollywood star Deepika Padukone, it’s understood Gutierrez has boarded the action sequel as one love interest to Xander Cage, Diesel’s hardboiled sports extremist that is on course to whip up a storm in early 2017.

Gutierrez is a late addition to the cast given that production is already well underway. Gearing up for a globe-trotting thriller, Vin Diesel has remained a vocal source of set photos throughout the early days and we imagine that’ll continue long until the film’s arrival on January 20, 2017. Also among the ensemble for xXx: The Return of Xander Cage are Toni Collette, the returning Samuel L. Jackson, Tony Jaa, Donnie Yen (in place of Jet Li), Conor McGregor and Andrey Ivchenko as the film’s big bad.

The third explosive chapter of the blockbuster franchise that redefined the spy thriller finds extreme athlete turned government operative Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) coming out of self-imposed exile and on a collision course with deadly alpha warrior Xiang and his team in a race to recover a sinister and seemingly unstoppable weapon known as Pandora’s Box. Recruiting an all-new group of thrill-seeking cohorts, Xander finds himself enmeshed in a deadly conspiracy that points to collusion at the highest levels of world governments. Packed with the series’ signature deadpan wit and bad-ass attitude, “xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage” will raise the bar on extreme action with some of the most mind-blowing stunts to ever be caught on film.
