To evaluate the expression \( x^3 y \) for \( x = -2 \) and \( y = 3 \), we first calculate \( x^3 \).

1. Calculate \( x^3 \):
\[
x^3 = (-2)^3 = -8
\]

2. Now, substitute \( x^3 \) and \( y \) into the expression:
\[
x^3 y = -8 \times 3 = -24
\]

Therefore, the value of the expression \( x^3 y \) for \( x = -2 \) and \( y = 3 \) is \(-24\).

The answer is \(-24\).
