*It’s been nearly a decade since Cameron Diaz last appeared on the big screen, and now she’s making her return with “Back in Action,” reuniting with her “Any Given Sunday” and “Annie” co-star Jamie Foxx.
Per Netflix, Foxx and Diaz play seemingly average parents with a big secret: They used to be incredibly skilled secret agents.
“We’re on a mission, and we take this opportunity where people might think we’re dead, to disappear off the face of the planet and start a new life and raise our family,” Diaz told Netflix.
Filming for the movie began in late 2022 and extended into January 2024. Production gained attention in April 2023 when Foxx experienced a medical emergency on set that temporarily halted shooting. Following his hospitalization, he returned to the set in January. “For Jamie, the show must go on and he has always been eager to see this project completed,” an insider told PEOPLE at the time.
