xXx: State of the Union, mainly released as xXx²: The Next Level outside the United States and Canada, is a 2005 action-adventure film directed by Lee Tamahori. It is a sequel to the 2002 film xXx (pronounced "triple x"). The film was produced by Revolution Studios for Columbia Pictures.

Two different scripts were made for this film, and the one written by Simon Kinberg was selected. The other script featured a radically different plot, possibly serving as the basis for another sequel. State of the Union underperformed at the box office, and was criticized heavily by critics (the first installment's reception was mixed) - mainly for its poor star, illogical story and overuse of CGI-influenced visual effects for most of the action sequences as opposed to live-action stunts being filmed.

A third film in the series, xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, will again feature Vin Diesel, with a projected release in mid-2011.

Original xXx superspy Xander Cage is reportedly killed in Bora Bora (by Sgt. Cobb's strike team, which can be seen in the Director's Cut release). Imprisoned former US Navy SEAL Darius Stone (Ice Cube) is selected by Agent Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) to be the next triple-X agent. Gibbons and his new agent travel to Washington D.C., where they track a splinter faction of the U.S. military that attempts to overthrow the U.S. government and assassinate the President, led by Secretary of Defense and former 4-Star General George Deckert, Stone's former commanding officer (Willem Dafoe) whom he once led a mutiny against.

Darius Stone has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
