Before the alleged final Fast and Furious film, Vin Diesel's early action hit, xXx, is coming to Prime Video on January 1, 2025. The film, which saw Diesel as extreme athlete Xander Cage recruited by the NSA, was a box office success and launched a franchise.
Fast 11, the next and allegedly last film in the Fast and Furious franchise, is taking some time to get its engine running. But while you're waiting, one of Vin Diesel 's first action films is coming to streaming next month. xXx will stream on Prime Video starting January 1, 2025.
Fresh off the sleeper-hit success of Pitch Black, which featured Diesel as scene-stealing, silver-eyed antihero Riddick, the actor became a hot commodity in Hollywood. Following his supporting role in 2001's The Fast and the Furious, Diesel was signed on to star in xXx, an extreme-sports-themed action film, with Fast and the Furious director Rob Cohen at the helm.
What Is 'xXx' About? Close Diesel stars as Xander Cage, an extreme athlete whose dangerous stunts land him in trouble with the authorities. He's recruited by NSA agent Augustus Gibbons , who offers him a chance to wipe his criminal record clean by working as a secret agent - codenamed 'xXx' after the tattoo on he back of his neck. After dispatching a cartel torturer , he's sent to Prague to infiltrate Anarchy 99, a terrorist group led by Yorgi .
The film's success resulted in a sequel, but Diesel declined to return. Cage was then killed off-screen, with Ice Cube starring as his replacement, Darius Stone, in 2005's xXx: State of the Union. Diesel returned in the belated 2017 sequel, xXx: Return of Xander Cage, which revealed that Cage's death was faked; it also featured Ice Cube as Stone. A fourth film is in development, but has been stalled by wrangling over the rights to the franchise.
