It was previously reported that D.J. Caruso would return as director, with Diesel starring alongside Jay Chou (The Green Hornet) and Zoe Zhang (Eternal Wave). There is also a holdup due to a lawsuit from Weying Galaxy Entertainment, which claims H Collective and Diesel breached a contract on the production rights for xXx 4.

Musician and actor Jay Chou is joining Vin Diesel in the fourth “xXx” movie, with D.J. Caruso directing for the H Collective.

Diesel is reprising his role as Xander Cage — an extreme sports enthusiast and reluctant spy for the National Security Agency. Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum will produce with Diesel, Samantha Vincent for One Race Films, and the H Collective. Chinese actress Zoe Zhang (“Chinese Zodiac”), a frequent collaborator with Jackie Chan, also joined the cast.

The H Collective said Tuesday that it will finance “xXx 4” alongside several investment partners, including Sparkle Roll Media, iQiyi Pictures, Dadi Huarui, Star League Media, and Fulcrum Management Co. Production is slated to begin in 2019.

The “xXx” franchise, which includes 2002’s “xXx,” 2005’s “xXx: State of the Union,” and 2017’s “xXx: Return of Xander Cage,” has collectively grossed nearly $1 billion at the worldwide box office. In 2017, “xXx: Return of Xander Cage” generated $168 million in China.

Jackie Chan, perhaps best known these days for his outspoken Chinese nationalism rather the stunt-filled action films in which he made his name, returns with “CZ12” (“Chinese Zodiac”), his latest outing as writer, director, action choreographer and star. The highly anticipated film has been cause for great excitement for fans, being a sequel of sorts to his much-loved “Armour of God” series, promising a big budget, globe-spanning treasure hunt of epic proportions. Helping Chan to try and recapture his former glories is a suitably international cast that includes Liao Fan (“Let the Bullets Fly”), Yao Xingtong (“Amor”), and Zhang Lanxin from China, Kwon Sang Woo (“Into the Fire”) from Korea, the European Laura Weissbecker (“Arena”), and Hollywood character actor Oliver Platt (“Lake Placid”), with various big name stars such as Shu Qi and Daniel Wu making cameo appearances. The film is only somewhat vaguely connected to its predecessors, Chan now known as Jc,...
