The film follows two former CIA agents who are forced back into the field after their secret identities are exposed.
In addition to marking Diaz’s return, the film is notable for reuniting her with Foxx, who encouraged her to take up the role, according to People.

Cameron Diaz explained that her hiatus allowed her to focus on her family.
She and Madden welcomed their daughter, Raddix, in 2019, followed by their son, Cardinal, in 2024.
Taking a break from Hollywood “felt like the right thing for me to reclaim my own life,” Diaz shared.
“Nobody’s opinion, nobody’s success, no one’s offer could change my mind about my decision of taking care of myself and building the life that I really wanted to have,” she added.
Madden’s encouragement played a key role in her comeback.
“He was like, ‘You’ve been supporting us and building the family. It’s time for us to support you and let Mommy ascend and do her thing'," Diaz recounted.
