Vin Diesel's xXx 4 adds another Asian star Jay Chou after Deepika Padukone

Taiwanese star Jay Chou has been tapped to star in the fourth installment of 'xXx'.

Chou, who made his Hollywood film debut with Seth Rogen-starrer 'The Green Hornet', is joining Vin Diesel in the project, reports Variety.

D J Caruso is directing the film that will see Diesel return as Xander Cage. Apart from him and Chou, Chinese actors Zoe Zhang and Roy Wang are also part of the project.

Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone, who made her Hollywood foray with 'xXx: Return of Xander Cage, will also return to the franchise for its fourth installment, according to Caruso.

Earlier in September, Caruso announced the same on Twitter after welcoming Wang to the 'xXx' family.
