Guess who’s back in action?! After a decade of focusing on her family, Cameron Diaz is making a comeback as Emily in “Back in Action.” The 52-year-old actress will star alongside Jamie Foxx as Matt in this upcoming action-comedy, marking her first film since “Annie” in 2014 (which, ironically, also starred Foxx). This reunion is especially heartwarming considering Foxx’s return to the screen after being hospitalized due to a medical emergency last April. The pair also previously worked together on the 1999 sports drama “Any Given Sunday.”
From Carpool to Covert Ops
“Back in Action” follows Emily and Matt, two seemingly average parents living average lives. But beneath the surface, they harbor a secret: they’re former CIA spies. When their past catches up to them, they’re thrust back into the world of espionage, facing a dangerous new adventure filled with explosive action and unexpected twists.
A Mix of Action, Comedy, and Heart
This action-comedy promises a blend of thrills, laughs, and emotional moments, with a dash of cool stunts thrown in for good measure. The film boasts a star-studded cast, including Glenn Close, Kyle Chandler, Andrew Scott, Jamie Demetriou, McKenna Roberts, and Rylan Jackson. Seth Gordon directs, having co-written the script with Brendan O’Brien.
