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.
