Intriguing news for fans of action films. A few hours ago on the Facebook page Vina Diesel There was a message that Donnie Yen has joined the film's team."xXx: Return of Xander Cage" (xXx: The Return of Xander Cage).
It is not yet known in what capacity Ian joined the cast. There are speculations that he will replace previously stated Jet Li, or he will do fight choreography. But, of course, all fans would like to see Donnie as the fourth star of this strong team of actors.
Work on the film is already in full swing. The first photos and videos from filming appear. In particular, there was a photo set Vina Diesel с Deepika Padukone, and joint photos of Diesel with Tony Jaa. The latter, by the way, changed his hairstyle especially for the film.
Concerning Jet Li , there is no news yet. Let's hope he doesn't leave the cast.

I think Jaa will be on Diesel's side and I'm looking forward to Donnie's fight with Tony
I don’t remember any of his negative roles offhand...
There is room for his acting side to develop (many become hostage to positive roles for their entire career), and he has it...
Here is the same Jet Li as the opponent of Mel Gibson and Freeman as he looked in “Lethal Weapon”!
Alex,
Well, how? And the main guy in "Shanghai Knights"? And the Highlander's opponent from the third film? And the vampire in the second Blade?
DIV,
Well done Div!
At one time I watched the producer's version of "Highlander End Game" only because of Donny!
I’ll add that in “Once Upon a Time in China 2” the character Donny is almost negative, he wasn’t even afraid to speak out against Jet Li))) Some government police chief like
Vladimir,
Exactly! "Once Upon a Time in China 2" - Donnie also played a scoundrel there.
Yes, it's officially confirmed that Donnie Yen will take Jet Li's place as the film's main villain.
DIVwhere can I find official confirmation?
barsug,
It was on one of the news sites, like kung-fu kingdom
That’s how Diesel provided the information; he was the first to post a photo of them together on his Facebook and even wrote what the hero’s name would be Donny.
z.y Those who expect to see the fight between Donnie Yen and Jaa... I’m almost 100% sure that the hero Jaa will be at the same time with the main villain and Diesel will fight with them... because it’s clear who the main star is and no one from It won’t distract his attention, of course. And this fight would, of course, make you forget about Diesel completely))) (provided that it was filmed on the same level, of course)
Well, he didn’t say that Yen would replace Lee. Regarding this, I just commented that this is Donne's first day on set.
barsug,
Oh, well, I personally read this on Movie News sites whose opinions you can trust, like HP. On KP and IMDb the surname is already Yen instead of Lee. And according to the synopsis of the chapters, the reptile will be called exactly as Diesel called him.
It's a shame about Jet Li. He retired early, he should still act and act. But he was once my favorite actor
Jet Li is sick.
In any case, the composition is the bomb
Jet left the project. Maiko Leader confirmed this. I wouldn’t be surprised that Yeon will play his character.
