CONFIRMED: Tony Jaa, Jet Li and Deepika Padukone Join Vin Diesel In XXX: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE

[The Hollywood Reporter have just confirmed the news originally reported here January 1, 2016 with word that Jet Li's deal for the film is now officially closed.]

That Vin Diesel's New Year's Resolution involves punching a lot of people in the face should come as no surprise. And today ScreenAnarchy has learned a thing or two about which faces he will be punching and / or who will be helping him punch other faces with word of some major names joining Diesel and the already announced UFC star Conor McGregor in XXX: The Return Of Xander Cage.

We're told that the DJ Caruso helmed picture has added international action stars Jet Li and Tony Jaa - fresh off working with Diesel on the latest Fast And Furious picture - along with Indian mega star Deepika Padukone. We're told Padukone will be lining up with the good guys but no word yet on whose team Li and Jaa will play on but, good lord, I'd buy a ticket to watch those two face off in a heartbeat.

Look at Vin and those big, dreamy eyes up there. He knows this is gonna be awesome.
