The upcoming Netflix film sees Diaz and Jamie Foxx play two former CIA agents who have started a family after leaving their careers in espionage, though are pulled back in when their identities are exposed.
The trailer, which was released today (November 14), showcases all the action to come, kicking off with the pair’s characters fighting off goons at a petrol station.

“You know that I love our life, but tonight something clicked,” Diaz’s character Emily tells Foxx’s Matt afterwards. “For the first time in a really long time, I felt alive again – I felt like the bitch again.”
The couple then tell their kids the truth about their former life, their daughter admitting she never thought they were “cool enough to be spies”.
“That’s not why we’re cool,” they both respond, before the clip cuts to a series of big stunts, including a car flip and a plane veering off a snowy cliff.
Back in Action comes from Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon, who has co-written the screenplay, and co-stars Kyle Chandler, Glenn Close, Andrew Scott, Jamie Demetriou, McKenna Roberts and Rylan Jackson.

The movie marks Diaz’s first project since retiring after 2014’s Annie remake, which also starred Foxx.
Opening up about working again after a long gap, she previously told The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: “I did that for so long, it’s kind of like the process. I kind of just fell back into it. But it feels a little bit different.
“The last movie I made was Annie with Jamie, and so the first movie back is this film with Jamie. He’s so great, he’s so easy, he’s so professional, he’s so talented, and just being able to work with him.”
Back in Action will be released on Netflix on January 17, 2025.
