As also revealed in Comic Book, Diesel posted a teaser prior to the film's full trailer which will be made available soon.
In the teaser and in its trailer preview, Return of Xander Cage is still the sort of adrenaline-fueled scenes XXX 3 films like the other first two. There is still the emphasis on jaw-dropping stunts as it was described as the latter-day Fast and Furious movie.
