Diaz and Foxx each shared the news on their Instagram stories.

This is Diaz's first film project since stepping away from her career as an actress. In 2020, she told Gwyneth Paltrow in an interview on \"In Goop Health: The Sessions,\" that she did so to take care of herself.

Foxx and Diaz first shared the news about \"Back in Action\" in 2022, when Foxx shared a phone call they had together. During their conversation, Foxx tapped former NFL quarterback Tom Brady, to share tips on how to \"un-retire\" with Diaz.

\"I'm relatively successful at un-retiring,\" said Brady, who first announced his retirement from the NFL in February 2022, unretired a month later to return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, then announced his retirement again \"for good\" after one more season with the team.

\"Honestly… exactly what I needed,\" Diaz told Brady.

\"Back in Action\" will be Diaz's and Foxx's third time starring together in a film. They first starred together in the 1999 film \"Any Given Sunday,\" and in the 2014 film \"Annie.\"

Also starring in the upcoming Seth Gordon directed-movie are Kyle Chandler, Glenn Close, Andrew Scott, Jamie Demetriou, McKenna Roberts and Rylan Jackson.

The film will be available later this year on Netflix.
