12 years later, Cameron Diaz is back: Back in Action trailer

The actress had retired to take care of her family. She returns to service with Jamie Foxx.

“It's been a long time since I felt so alive…“The parallel is obvious and even very strong. Cameron Diaz comes out of retirement for a new film, 12 years after the last one. She's back in action, like her character from… Back in Action. An… action film, where she will play an ex-CIA spy who had retired (wink) to start a family (double wink) and who finally returns to service and discovers that He had missed all that fiercely (triple wink). If you haven't grasped the analogy, there's nothing we can do for you…

We understand from the trailer which has just been released that Back in Action will be a kind of True Lies mixed with Spy Kids. A good-natured, family spy film, with its share of explosive stunts that will amaze you.

“Although they have long since resigned from the CIA to start a family, Emily and Matt are caught up in espionage against their will when their cover is blown…” tease the synopsis.

Jamie Foxx will share the poster with her. Andrew Scott and Kyle Chandler will also be in the cast.

Back in Action will be released on January 17, 2025 on Netflix.
