The first explosive trailer for Xander Cage (2026), the fourth installment in the xXx franchise, signals a brutal return to high-octane, international espionage—with Vin Diesel reprising his role as the extreme sports outlaw turned government operative. But this time, the stakes are global, the enemies are personal, and the betrayals run deeper than ever before.
The story picks up a few years after the events of xXx: Return of Xander Cage. The world is destabilized by a shadow tech syndicate known as “The Black Fang” that has weaponized AI-driven satellites to control global data, currencies, and weapons systems. Their leader? A former xXx agent gone rogue. Played by Tony Jaa, his character—Sorin Vatcha—is a brutal, silent tactician with a vendetta against the agency that trained and betrayed him.
To stop him, Gibbons’ replacement at the NSA (a mysterious figure played by Angela Bassett) reactivates Xander Cage. But Xander refuses to play by their rules. He assembles his own new underground crew, bringing back some familiar faces and recruiting Donnie Yen’s Xiang once again—now working as a rogue agent with his own motives.
Throughout the trailer, we see jaw-dropping stunts: Xander base-jumping off a collapsing skyscraper in Dubai, Donnie Yen dodging bullets mid-air while performing parkour across neon-lit rooftops in Tokyo, and Tony Jaa delivering brutal combos inside a zero-gravity chamber aboard a falling space station.
A major twist? Xiang and Sorin were once part of the same elite shadow unit, and their reunion ends in a bloody rooftop duel.
But nothing prepares fans for the final reveal: a shot of Samuel L. Jackson’s Augustus Gibbons, presumed dead, alive and imprisoned in a cryogenic chamber—hinting he’s been held by The Black Fang for years.
The trailer ends with Xander’s voice:
“You want chaos? I am chaos.”
With a globe-spanning plot, martial arts mayhem, and next-level tech warfare, Xander Cage (2026) promises to be the biggest, most intense xXx film yet. It’s not just about saving the world—it’s about rewriting the rules of who gets to.
