Jet Li, Deepika Padukone and Tony Jaa are joining the cast of Vin Diesel's ? sequel, according to Twitch Film. "We're told Padukone will be lining up with the good guys but no word yet on whose team Li and Jaa will play on," they report.
Li, 52, is the Chinese martial arts superstar best known stateside for his roles in Romeo Must Die (2000), The One (2001), and The Expendables films. Padukone, 29, is a Bollywood megastar who has made a name for herself with roles in Cocktail (2012), Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013), Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013), and Bajirao Mastani (2015). Jaa, 39, is a Thai martial arts film star known for his roles in Ong-Bak: Muay Thai Warrior (2003), Tom-Yum-Goong (2005), and made his Hollywood debut in 2015's Furious 7.
They'll join a cast that already includes UFC fighter Conor McGregor and Samuel L. Jackson (The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier), who will be reprising his role as Agent Augustus Eugene Gibbons, the man responsible for turning notorious underground thrill-seeker Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) into the NSA's super-spy.
The film is being directed by D.J. Caruso (I Am Number Four, Disturbia).

I can already tell this is a one time watch on spike tv. A bunch of mma athletes who can't act, aging mma actors who can't speak English properly enough to act, and eye candy and all with a very predictable plot.
Might be dope -
That's crazy Jaa is pushing 40. I thought dude was in late 20s

They kind of have to, i wouldn't think theres many out there who were waiting for this franchise to continue.
Real savvy casting though, they've automatically dipped into 4 or 5 additional markets thanks to it.

Na he should've went for Scott Atkins, Donnie Yen and Michael Jai White for their budget. Jet Li and Tony Jaa can't act. They're overused for the wrong roles, great action but not good American actors.
