EXCLUSIVE<\/strong>: O’Shea Jackson Jr. seems to know where Den of Thieves 3<\/a> <\/em><\/strong>is going.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jackson has co-led the action franchise alongside Gerard Butler, starring as heist mastermind Donnie Wilson, who engages in various cat-and-mouse games with Butler’s Los Angeles Deputy Sheriff Nick O’Brien. After a modestly successful return with 2025’s Pantera<\/em>, it was confirmed that they would both be back for Den of Thieves 3<\/em><\/a>, with development greenlit by Lionsgate within weeks after its predecessor’s release. <\/p>\n Now, in an interview with ScreenRant<\/em>‘s Tatiana Hullender for his new comedy crime thriller Idiots<\/em>, Jackson Jr. was asked about the progress on Den of Thieves 3<\/em>‘s development. The star began by acknowledging that part of the challenge in getting the action threequel off the ground is that his character “can’t go to the States anymore<\/em>” after the first film saw Donnie successfully rob the Los Angeles Federal Reserve, nor can he go to Europe “because I just robbed the [World] Diamond Center<\/em>” in 2025’s Pantera<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n When asked by his Idiots<\/em> co-star Dave Franco where Den of Thieves 3 <\/em>will take Donnie, Jackson chuckled as he pointed out that “I’ve only got technically four other places I could go to<\/em>.” When presented with the idea of Japan, Jackson was energetic in his desire to take the heist franchise to said country, but did confirm the new setting won’t be there:<\/p>\n O’Shea Jackson Jr.: But I think it would be so dope if I had a heist movie in Japan. Shoot it when the cherry blossoms are out there. Think of the shots you can have! Also, I look sick with a katana. The cars that they got out there? It just makes sense. I want to film in Japan, where I can meet my future wife and stay there forever. I feel like that would work.<\/p>\n Dave Franco: I feel like that would be a great crossover. Den of Thieves 3 meets Now You See Me 4. Crossover in Japan.<\/p>\n O’Shea Jackson Jr.: A little magic, a little heist…<\/p>\n Mason Thames: And then at the end of the movie, Toothless swoops down.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Though he may not have revealed where the franchise is taking Donnie in the next film, Jackson’s comments that Japan won’t be the new setting for <\/a>Den of Thieves 3<\/a> <\/em>does narrow down the possibilities of where the threequel could go. There are plenty of heist opportunities for the film to explore in the African, South American and Asian regions, but given the World Diamond Center is located in France, there’s also a chance Donnie may try his luck in other parts of Europe.<\/p>\n If he does venture out of Europe, though, the threequel could actually find its way to deliver on the first Den of Thieves<\/em>‘ ending tease<\/a>. The 2018 film saw Jackson’s character working at a new bar across from a diamond exchange of some kind, seemingly building to his major heist in the 2025 sequel, but was actually in London. With Pantera <\/em>never directly addressing what happened in London, the next installment could bring Donnie back to the United Kingdom for his next heist.<\/p>\n\n
