    Kyle Chandler and Glenn Close Are Getting ‘Back in Action’

    The duo join Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz in the upcoming action comedy.

    Nov. 15, 2022

Cameron Diaz is getting Back in Action, and she’s bringing along a few stars. The There’s Something About Mary icon is making a new action comedy with Jamie Foxx, with an ensemble that includes (*deep breath*) Kyle Chandler, Glenn Close, McKenna Roberts, Rylan Jackson, Jamie Demetriou and Andrew Scott. No word yet on who everyone will be playing, but one thing’s for sure: Diaz is coming out of retirement in style.

Chandler joins the film off of his recent performances in Godzilla vs. Kong and Slumberland; the sturdy character actor previously won an Emmy for his performance as Coach Taylor in Friday Night Lights, and garnered two more nominations for his work on Bloodline. Close has received eight Academy Award nominations, for her work in films like Fatal AttractionDangerous Liaisons, The Wife and Hillbilly Elegy. 

The pair's younger costars also have their own packed resumes. Roberts starred in Dwayne Johnson action flick Skyscraper and plays a young version of Zendaya on Euphoria. Jackson will next be seen in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Demetriou had a memorable turn as a bus-riding flirt on Fleabag and as a friendly inmate in Paddington 2. And Scott, of course, played the iconic role of the Hot Priest on Fleabag season 2, alongside roles like the devious Moriarty on Sherlock and Birdy's father in Catherine, Called Birdy.

Back in Action is coming to Netflix soon.
