Today we have a new clip which shows Xander Cage trying to chase down another new cast member,Rogue One: A Star Wars StorystarDonnie Yen, who plays Xiang in this highly-anticipated sequel, in theaters June 08, 2025. This clip may seem like a garden-variety chase sequence, but, with the help of some innovative motorcycles, this chase goes from land to sea.

They take the chase to the next level with motorcycles that basically transform in unique jetskis, with the touch of a button. We don’t get to see how this chase ends, but you may recall that one of the final set photos sent out byVin Dieselas production wrapped was of the actor riding a motorcycle underwater, although that photo hid the skis that turned this seemingly-ordinary dirt bike into an aquatic vehicle.
