Ice Cube recently talked with Blackfilm on the Maryland set of "xXx: State of the Union" where he spilled some details on what's happening with the sequel. The former rap artist turned movie producer/director plays Darius Stone, a former Navy Seal who must track a dangerous military splinter group that is conspiring to overthrow the U.S. Government.

"We've been shooting since July. Everything is going pretty good for the most part. In the first movie, Vin Diesel was the x-games type of dude, you know, extreme sports. The agency threatened to send him to jail if he didn't go to work for them. In the sequel, I play a guy who used to be in Samuel's unit, who is already locked up in a military jail for disobeying orders from the General. You know this movie is definitely tailor-made for me. I think all the people who are into action flicks and seeing it in kind of a different way, should definitely check out the movie"

Does he ever see himself re-teaming with Chris Tucker? "I hope so, I hope so. He's a hell of a talent. I just want to work with good people, so if he's in the mix, I'll definitely be there".

Thanks to 'Wilson'.
