The ‘almost’ Miss Universe 2015 and Miss Columbia 2014 Ariadna Gutiérrez, has been cast as Vin Diesel’s love interest in “xXx: The Return of Xander Cage”.
Gutierrez gained massive international recognition at the Miss Universe pageant when host Steve Harvey announced her as the winner by mistake when it was actually Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, who won.
The movie, the shooting of which is underway in Toronto and the Dominican Republic, will mark her feature film debut.
The film will also mark the debut of Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone in Hollywood and features Vin Diesel as Xander Cage. Production house Paramount last week announced January 20, 2017, as the release date.
The third film of xXx franchise follows Diesel’s character as he comes out of self-imposed exile to recover a sinister and seemingly unstoppable weapon known as Pandora’s Box.
