Return of Xander Cage is a film littered with international stars – yet it was one a little closer to home we recently had the pleasure of speaking to, chatting all things xXx with Hermione Corfield.

Hermione Corfield in The Halcyon

The British actress discussed with HeyUGuys whether she created a back-story for her role, and the challenges in stepping in to an established franchise. She also told us whether Vin Diesel let her wear that ridiculous coat, and what it was like working with the Hollywood star.

She also discussed a future project in Bees Make Honey – a more comedically inclined endeavour, which led on to a conversation about not being pigeonholed in this industry. Corfield then spoke about TV series The Halcyon, and whether or not discussions had already taken place regarding a second series, while the actress explained whether she feels there are any differences between shooting a drama series, and a movie.
