If you saw the ending of xXx2 and heard what the captain said, it's pretty much 100% obvious the makers intend to make a third movie. He says he already knows who he's gonna pick as the next triple-x
shareI have seen it. And liked it. I remember what captain said but what do the producers say´s? Will they put there money in another xXx-movie???

[Revolution pulls plug on XXX 3]
Date: February 16, 2006 | Writer: Clint Morris
Revolution’s Joe Roth has just rammed a stake through that fundamental blood-pumping organ of “XXX”.
Though the studio was considering doing a second sequel to the Vin Diesel hit, possibly with a female lead this time, the poor performance of “XXX 2 : State of the Union” put an end to everything.
“I think what happened is I made a big mistake,” Roth tells About.com. “I felt like Vin Diesel’s representatives were more unruly than usual and I just didn’t want to pay the price. I guess I just believed more in the franchise than I did in the actor in the franchise and I broke my own cardinal rule which is if you’re going to do a sequel, keep all of the elements together. I don't know how many times I’ve told that to filmmakers.”
Roth doesn’t even want to consider a third film now. “You know, when you get burned on a picture like that, it takes a while to kind of get back to it because you feel like 'I don’t want to have that happen again.'”
Even though XXX director Rob Cohen’s idea to have a female XXX agent would potentially revitalize the franchise, Roth feels that would only be another risky experiment. “Excuse me for saying this, but the history of women driving action pictures is not a good one.” Kill Bill notwithstanding. “I would keep Quentin Tarantino out of any formula myself.”
“XXX 2” writer Simon Kinberg told us that he had been in talks to possibly come up with a story for the third film, and his idea was to cast someone like Michelle Yeoh as a martial arts trained super-agent. Seems you’ll never get to experience that now folks.

While Rob Cohen (Fast and Furious) shies away from directing sequels to his own hit movies, he admits he’s considering making a third xXx installment along with star Vin Diesel.
“Joe Roth came to the dubbing stage [of the Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor] just last week and sat down and said, ‘I own all the rights to xXx. Vin wants to do another one would you be interested?’ and I said, ‘Yeah, if I can sit down with everybody and make sure the rules are set.’”
Cohen, who didn't always see eye to eye with Diesel, will have some explaining to do in the third film. He killed off Diesel’s character on the xXx DVD special feature, “The Final Chapter: The Death of Xander" prior to the release of director Lee Tamahori's sequel xXx: State of the Union starring Ice Cube.
“You mean when I blew his scalp off?,” says Cohen playfully. “Never has a director gotten so much revenge on an actor. [laughs]…I was so angry by the time we got back from the press tour that when Sony came to me and said…’We are going to have a new one. We want you to shoot a scene that passes the torch.’ I said, ‘Hell with passing the torch, let’s kill him.’ Now I’m a little embarrassed by that, but I just laugh because it was just out of anger.”
Now, Cohen says, “[Vin]s a different man. He’s been sobered by the ups and downs of a career and I think he now understands what a good synergy we had on the set and that he took for granted…I also appreciate what he brings to the table, which is quite a bit. It was just like we were young and foolish, what can I say – or he was young and I was foolish.”
Cohen, who’s toying with the idea of a fourth Mummy movie (the first two were directed by Stephen Sommers, while Cohen directed the third) calls the new Mummy and xXx installments “hypothetical.”
“Both of these are completely hypothetical," he says. "This is Hollywood...I would love to tell you I have two movies back to back planned and that we’re certain, but I have nothing planned."
And yes, I really do own a DeLorean™share
