Cameron Diaz is Back for More Netflix Action in Exciting New Movie Announcement!

by

Following a lengthy break from Hollywood, Cameron Diaz made a thrilling comeback in the 2024 Netflix film “Back in Action,” which also marked her reunion with Jamie Foxx, her co-star from the movie “Annie.” It was then revealed that Diaz would once again play Princess Fiona in the much-anticipated fifth installment of “Shrek.” Now, Diaz and Netflix are collaborating on another action film, which I’m crossing my fingers will be released in 2026 alongside the anticipated animated sequel.

Cameron Diaz’s Netflix Partnership Continues With Bad Day

Following her role in “Back in Action”, Diaz has shown interest in taking on more film projects, and fortunately, this will occur! As THR states, she’s slated to star in “Bad Day,” an action-comedy. Jake Szymanski, recognized for his work on movies like “Jury Duty” and “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates,” is directing the film. Diaz will also be working with a past partner, Beau Bauman, who produced “Back in Action.” Production on the movie seems to be progressing swiftly, as it’s being prioritized for filming to start later this year on the East Coast.

The upcoming movie titled “Bad Day” centers around a single mother played by Cameron Diaz, who encounters an extremely challenging predicament while striving to fulfill a promise for her child. According to reports, the film is being compared to a more optimistic take on the 1993 drama “Falling Down“, which featured Michael Douglas in its cast. Given these initial details, it’s not unreasonable to expect that this could turn out to be a series of hilarious misadventures reminiscent of “There’s Something About Mary“. And I wouldn’t complain if that were the case.

How Did Cameron Diaz’s Previous Netflix Movie Come Together And How Did It Perform?

It’s great to see that the icon from “Charlie’s Angels” continues to be active in acting, given her long absence. From 2014 to 2022, Diaz declined numerous projects and opted for a quieter life, even starting her own wine brand, Avaline. However, it appears that Jamie Foxx’s persistence and the enticing role in their upcoming movie were what eventually drew Diaz back into the spotlight. Additionally, she received an impressive paycheck from Netflix for two movies.

Titled “Back in Action,” this movie (currently streaming with a Netflix subscription) focuses on two former spies who find their suburban married life with children disrupted. Despite not receiving critical acclaim, the film managed to reach No. 1 on Netflix during its premiere and reportedly garnered a significant number of views. The ending hints at a sequel, and although this hasn’t been officially confirmed, it wouldn’t be surprising if it were made.

It seems likely that Netflix is anticipating that Cameron Diaz’s upcoming film will resonate with viewers. If _Bad Day_ manages to capture the hearts of audiences, it wouldn’t be unexpected if Netflix continued their partnership with the popular actress in future projects. Admittedly, I’m quite curious about how this next movie unfolds.

I’m eagerly anticipating more information about ‘Bad Day’, particularly regarding the cast, and it looks like we might hear that news ahead of time. Until then, take a look at what’s coming up on Netflix in 2025 to keep you entertained.
