by Darian Scalamoni

    Cameron Diaz's return to acting is drawing more A-list talent for the streaming action-comedy. According to a report from Deadline, Glenn Close and Kyle Chandler will join the cast for Back in Action alongside Diaz and Jamie Foxx. The project was announced via Foxx's Instagram back in June and has many excited as it will be Diaz's first film since Annie back in 2014. 

    The plot details are being held under wraps for now, but Back in Action will be directed by Seth Gordon, who previously directed Horrible Bosses and Baywatch. The cast assembled is exciting as almost everything Jamie Foxx is in recently is at least worth pure entertainment value while Close and Chandler bring prestige to the project as well.

    Chandler will be seen next in Netflix's Slumberland which premieres this Friday, November 18th. Chandler has been seen mostly on television recently with supporting roles in Paramount+'s Mayor of Kingstown and Showtime's Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber alongside Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Uma Thurman.

    Glenn Close has been nominated for 8 Oscars, including most recently in 2021 for Netflix's Hillbilly Elegy. She also recently appeared in Season 2 of AppleTV+ original, Tehran and the AppleTV+ original movie, Swan Song with Mahershala Ali. She'll next appear in the horror film, The Deliverance directed by Lee Daniels acting alongside Caleb McLaughlin and Aunjanue Ellis.
