The action thriller launches in a further 52 markets including the UK, France, Spain, Germany, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, and Russia. It will open in China on February 10.

Diesel promoted the film in India, Mexico and the UK alongside other members of the international cast.

The film also stars Donnie Yen, Tonby Jaa, Deepika Padukone, Rory McCann,  Ruby Rose and Samuel L Jackson.

DJ Caruso directed XXX: Return Of Xander Cage, which marks Diesel’s return to the franchise since the original XXX in 2002.
