Choosing to take a several-year hiatus to prioritize her family life, Diaz left countless cinema-goers speculating about her potential return.
The star of The Holiday is officially making a comeback, preparing for an upcoming thriller, Outcome, alongside Keanu Reeves, and set to reprise her memorable role as Princess Fiona in the eagerly awaited Shrek 5.
In this comedic family thriller, Diaz portrays Emily, a retired secret agent who, together with her husband Matt (played by Jamie), leaves their espionage careers behind upon learning of her pregnancy.

Fast forward 15 years and a past mission resurfaces, forcing them to flee with their two children, rebellious teenager Alice (McKenna Roberts) and introverted son Leo (Rylan Jackson).
Despite the excitement of watching the Charlie’s Angels star in another spy thriller, Back in Action has largely been a disappointment according to critics, with a lowly 24 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Guardian commented: “Combined star power only takes this overfamiliar caper so far, let down by an unfunny script and a lack of originality.

Their review further stated: “It’s an easy way back in,” referring to the film’s title, but added that it was “a low-effort comeback vehicle quite literally called Back in Action, but the film is only a half-victory at best. While it might prove that Diaz still possesses that same particular magic, it also shows that she should be far more discerning with how she chooses to share it.”
Collider conceded that Diaz and Foxx “do their best with what they’re given,” but criticized “the dull, exposition-heavy script never gives them the chance to flex any of their dramatic muscles, and they rarely get to be truly funny either.”
