Diaz then mentions their first film together, "Any Given Sunday," which they starred together in 1999.

"We lived through so much," Foxx added before listing social media moments over the years. "We lived through keyboard cat, pizza rat, NFTs, DVDs, corn kid, bean dad, Salt Bae, left shark, pink sauce, Grimace shake and 'the dress.'"

"And now we're back together for another movie and I am just so excited," Diaz said.

In the upcoming film, Diaz and Foxx portray two former CIA spies who give up their life as secret agents after starting a family, but "return to the world of espionage when their cover is blown," according to a synopsis for the movie.
