Vin Diesel has laughed reports suggesting he’s pulled out of his XXX comeback, insisting he’s playing the lead in the upcoming third XXX film, The Return of Xander Cage. Rapper/actor Ice Cube assumed the lead role in XXX 2: State of The Union.

Over the weekend, internet gossip claimed Diesel had pulled out from the flick, however, the star’s rep dubbed the claims as untrue, telling MTV News: “I made a few calls on this and I can tell you that it is completely not true.”
