Vin Diesel is now the proud co-owner of the xXx franchise.

Diesel and his One Race Films have teamed with finance and production company The H Collective to acquire the rights to the action-adventure franchise from Revolution Studios, the companies announced Tuesday.

At the same time, Diesel and H Collective are suiting up to make a new installment, xXx 4.

D.J. Caruso, who helmed xXx: Return of Xander Cage, as well as such movies as Disturbia, will return to direct xXx 4, with Diesel reprising his role as extreme-sports athlete turned reluctant agent Xander Cage.

This isn’t the only franchise that Diesel owns. The actor-producer also own the rights to Riddick/Pitch Black, which he acquired from Universal, which wanted him to return to the Fast & Furious movie series.

Production on xXx 4 is slated to begin in December........
