Back in Action Is Due To Land on Netflix in January 2025

Charlie’s Angels star Cameron Diaz recently revealed what it was that brought her out of retirement, with the Golden Globe nominee saying “it was just the right time.”

“It was just the right time for my family. After Covid, we were in the house for a long time, which was amazing and the problem was we would probably stay there, we would still be there right now. People would be like, ‘It’s over’ and I’d be like, ‘No it’s not, it’s not over for me. So I had to push myself; my husband and I — my husband, who is the best — he was like, ‘You’ve been supporting us and building the family’ and supporting him in his businesses, he’s like, ‘It’s time for us to support you and let Mommy ascend and do her thing.’ He’s like, ‘Let me see you do it girl.’ I was like, ‘Alright, here we go.’”

Back in Action will be the third time that Diaz and Foxx have shared the screen. The pair first starred together in the sports drama Any Given Sunday back in 1999 before reuniting in the musical-comedy Annie in 2014. The latter is Diaz’s final credit prior to her hiatus, with the actress now due to return for Shrek 5 and the black comedy Outcome starring Keanu Reeves alongside Netflix’s Back in Action.
