It’s been almost 10 years since Cameron Diaz’s last film appearance. But she’s making a return to film in Back in Action alongside her Any Given Sunday and Annie co-star Jamie Foxx. The pair play seemingly average parents with a big secret: They used to be incredibly skilled secret agents.

The announcement was made during Netflix’s Upfront presentation in New York City, where the two lead stars discussed their real-life friendship and teaming up again to make the film.

“A lot of people don’t know this, but after Cameron and I did Any Given Sunday and Annie together, we became friends in real life — and I’ve been begging her to come play with me again. We all know there’s just something about her…,” said Jamie Foxx.

Cameron Diaz added, “I couldn’t have asked for a better partner, on-screen and off.”
