"Damn it feels good to be back."

Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) is back to reprise his xXx role in xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. The new action installment sees Diesel returning to his role as an extreme-sports enthusiast turned reluctant spy. He made his first appearance as Xander in the original film from 2002. Emerging from self-imposed exile, Xander must work to find a deadly weapon known as Pandora's Box.

Also returning to the action franchise is Samuel L. Jackson, who reprises his role as Xander's handler, NSA Agent Augustus Gibbons. Based on the first trailer, fans will not have to worry about not getting any action as it's clear Diesel's will be kicking some major butt. Also starring in xXx 3 is Nina Dobrev, Donnie Yen, Ruby Rose, Toni Collette and Ariadna Gutierrez.

Both Diesel and Dobrev shared teaser trailers ahead of the first official trailer, and both gave fans different looks at what's to come. "Xander Cage! This is crazy," a glasses-wearing Dobrev says, perhaps referencing to the face that Xander is alive (he was thought to be dead prior to this film's release.). Xander and a group of new recruits will face off against warrior Xiang (Yen) and his deadly team. Eventually, Xander uncovers a deadly conspiracy that involves the highest level of world governments.

Are you excited for the new installment? xXx: The Return of Xander Cage hits theaters Jan. 20, 2017.
