When Vin Diesel returns to the xXx series, he hopes to reinvigorate it the same way he did when he returned to the Fast & Furious franchise. The third film in the series, titled xXx: Return of Xander Cage comes out soon and it features a stellar cast that’ll find Diesel surrounded by the likes of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’s Donnie Yen, as well as Deepika Padukone, Toni Collette, Ruby Rose, Nina Dobrev, Tony Jaa, Kris Wu, Michael Bisping, Rory McCann, Nicky Jam, Neymar Jr., and a returning Samuel L. Jackson.

At the film’s London premiere, Diesel made an extra special entrance since a limousine simply wouldn’t suit Xander Cage. The international superstar arrived in a helicopter, landing in front a giant, flaming xXx logo.

Diesel also went “Live” for all of his Facebook fans as he landed in the chopper, giving his followers a special look at the film’s London premiere. You can see that video at the bottom of this series of photos from the big event:

The third explosive chapter of the blockbuster franchise that redefined the spy thriller finds extreme athlete turned government operative Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) coming out of self-imposed exile and on a collision course with deadly alpha warrior Xiang and his team in a race to recover a sinister and seemingly unstoppable weapon known as Pandora’s Box. Recruiting an all-new group of thrill-seeking cohorts, Xander finds himself enmeshed in a deadly conspiracy that points to collusion at the highest levels of world governments. Packed with the series’ signature deadpan wit and bad-ass attitude, “xXx: RETURN OF XANDER CAGE” will raise the bar on extreme action with some of the most mind-blowing stunts to ever be caught on film.

xXx: Return of Xander Cage will explode into theaters on January 20.
