Cameron Diaz has officially come out of ‘retirement’ with a bang if the first look at her new action film is anything to go by.

The 51-year-old – who recently welcomed her second child with husband Benji Madden – is set to return to our screens for the first time in around 10 years, in Back in Action.

The Mask actress will be starring alongside Jamie Foxx in the upcoming blockbuster, with the pair playing a married couple drawn back into their former spy careers, after settling down in the suburbs.

Netflix bosses released the first pictures from the flick, which is released n November 15, and it looks seriously intense.

In one snap, the pair could be seen dressed to the nines while running, while another saw them hunched over a mysterious object, in a secluded, snowy field.

At one point, they were joined by co-stars Glenn Close and Jamie Demetriou, huddled over a computer and a laptop in a swanky office.

Jamie, who played Matt, sparked concern when he fell ill during filming last year, and nearly lost his life.

He said of the movie: ‘A lot of people don’t know this, but after Cameron and I did Any Given Sunday and Annie together, we became friends in real life – and I’ve been begging her to come play with me again.

‘We all know there’s just something about her…’

Cameron, aka Emily, added: ‘I couldn’t have asked for a better partner, on-screen and off.’

The official synopsis reads: ‘Years after giving up life as CIA spies to start a family, Emily and Matt find themselves dragged back into the world of espionage when their cover is blown.’

Cameron has appeared in countless films over the years, including the Holiday, Shrek Charlie’s Angels and My Best Friend’s Wedding.

Her infamous hairstyle in There’s Something About Mary will probably live rent free in our minds until the end of time.

However, she stepped out of the spotlight in recent years to grow other parts of her life – including marrying Good Charlotte musician Benji, and welcoming two children with the rocker.

After appearing as Hannigan in 2014’s Annie, she basically retired from acting for around a decade, before announcing her surprise comeback in 2022.

Unpacking her decision during an appearance on Kevin Hart’s Hart to Heart series, she explained: ‘When you do something at a really high level for a long period of time, when you’re the person that is delivering one thing, you’re the person on the screen, all parts of you that isn’t that has to sort of be handed off to other people.

‘For my personal, spiritual self, I was realizing that that one part of me that functioned at a high level wasn’t enough.

‘[This included] different parts of my life, my home, every aspect, from finance, just the management of me as a human being, not me as Cameron Diaz the machine.’

‘I just looked around and there were so many parts of my life that I wasn’t touching and that I wasn’t managing, and I couldn’t really manage, because everything was so massive.’

Back in Action is premiering on Netflix on November 15.
