Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz, well-known for movies such as “The Mask,” “The Holiday,” and “Charlie’s Angels,” has once again captured attention with the Netflix release of “Back in Action.” Despite little change over the past eleven years, Diaz expressed surprise at the noticeable shift in film sets: “The sense of security and safety for women on set that I feel now… I hadn’t experienced anything like this before working on this movie.
More recently, Diaz starred in the 2025 action-comedy titled “Back in Action,” sharing screen time with Jamie Foxx. In this film, she portrays Emily, a CIA agent who ties the knot with Matt (Foxx), another CIA operative. Following an expose of their covert identities, they opt to retire. However, fifteen years later, a band of merciless mercenaries rediscovers them, compelling the couple to flee and protect their offspring.
The actress made an appearance on the “SkipIntro” podcast on Netflix, discussing her comeback to the entertainment industry after a 11-year hiatus spent caring for her family. On this platform, Diaz expressed surprise at finding the Netflix set to be a safe environment. She also shared her past negative experiences on film sets before her break, describing them as having “multiple levels of inappropriateness that one just had to tolerate.” However, her current experience with Netflix has been nothing but positive.
In my entire career, I’ve never encountered HR discussing appropriate and inappropriate behavior before a movie production, let alone setting up a hotline for anonymous reports. This time around, the sense of safety and security I feel as a woman on set is unprecedented – something I haven’t experienced before this project. Truly remarkable!
In January 2025, the movie “Back in Action” premiered and garnered approximately 50 million views during its opening weekend on popular streaming platforms. Despite marking Diaz’s comeback to the film industry, the movie received a lukewarm response from critics, with a Tomatometer score of 28% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, audiences seemed to enjoy it more, as indicated by a Popcornmeter score of 58%. According to Matt Mahler’s review of “Back in Action”, the movie was…
Instead of “Back in Action” being a small fish flopping around in a kiddie pool at Netflix, it could be described as a simple, unassuming fish that doesn’t take much effort to watch and isn’t particularly noteworthy compared to other similar productions. However, many viewers may not expect or desire more from light-hearted entertainment like this on streaming platforms. To me, it’s a shame people don’t ask for more depth from films, but if one is going to relax in the shallow end of entertainment, “Back in Action” could be a decent choice.
Will Cameron Diaz Make a Full Return to Hollywood?
As a movie enthusiast, I can’t definitively say if Cameron Diaz will be gracing the silver screen again anytime soon. The buzz is that her loved ones are her top priority right now, and she’s not ready to commit to any projects just yet. However, when asked about her future in filmmaking, she’s expressed an interest in taking on roles that align better with her current family-centric lifestyle.
It’s worth noting that persuading Diaz to come back didn’t come without a substantial cost for Netflix. Reports suggest the actor received a staggering $45 million for a two-film deal, which might leave you amazed. As we ponder over this massive sum of money Netflix paid Diaz, let’s begin contemplating her future projects. With The Mask 2 on everyone’s minds, we wonder what she has in store next.
