xXx: Return of Xander Cage trailer is all the ridiculous fun you need

Vin Diesel and Samuel L Jackson return in the action franchise's second sequel

"Guns, girls, global domination - Xander cage is back" - we couldn't have said it better ourselves.

The first teaser trailer for third xXx outing Return of Xander Cage has been released and it shows that, despite the franchise's 11-year rest, the new film looks to be as high on the frantic action of 2002's original and its sequel State of the Union (2005).

Vin Diesel himself returns as the athlete-turned-National Security Agency spy alongside fellow returning cast member Samuel L. Jackson who plays NSA agent Augustus Gibbons.

Also along for the ride is Toni Collette who is clearly having the time of her life getting to utter lines such as: "We need someone who can walk into a tornado and come out the other side like it was a damned gentle breeze."

DJ Caruso (Disturbia) is directing the film which will also star an assortment of recognisable faces from the world of US television including Ruby Rose (Orange is the New Black), Nina Dobrev (The Vampire Diaries) and the Hound himself, Rory McCann (Game of Thrones).

xXx: The Return of Xander Cage will be released in 2017.
