"xXx", the franchise starring Vin Diesel, will be getting a fourth installment. Diesel's One Race Films and The H Collective have acquired the rights to the franchise and will begin filming in December. 

In the film, Diesel plays a spy for the National Security Agency. The films, which have grossed over $1 billion worldwide, include 2002's "xXx," 2005's "xXx: State of the Union," and  2017's "xXx: Return of Xander Cage". 

"During my time at Paramount I was lucky to be involved in the development and distribution of ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage.' The response from the Chinese box office was unprecedented. Bringing the next installment of the xXx franchise to The H Collective complements our diversified slate and mission to produce content for a global audience", said The H Collective CEO Nic Crawley.

"xXx 4" will be directed by D.J. Caruso, who directed "xXx: Return of Xander Cage". Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum will be producing with Diesel, Samantha Vincent for One Race Films and the H Collective.
