Did Cameron Diaz un-retire?!?!?!??!?!?!

I was wondering that too. Perhaps her child is old enough now so she is ready to work again.

I think she has two kids right now?

And what a fitting movie title for her return!

per Wikipedia: 'In June 2022, it was announced that Diaz would return to acting by starring alongside Foxx in the Netflix action-comedy Back in Action. In March 2024, Diaz was announced to be in talks to star in the Apple Original Film Outcome alongside Keanu Reeves. Filming started for the project later that month. She will reprise her voice role as Princess Fiona in Shrek 5, scheduled for release in 2026.'

it's kind of fitting her last movie was with Foxx, and now her first movie in ten years is also with him.

I honestly think she came out of retirement to work with friends and make some sweet coin at the same time. She's always had a good working relationship with Jaime, and there was some back alley story about how apparently she, Mike Myers, and eddie Murphy met for beers somewhere and somehow they started talking about Shrek and the fun they had with it, which led to them agreeing to do another film and approaching Dreamworks "Friends" style as a united front and everyone got oodles of cash plus backend?* I'm not mad at her, it's easy cash working with people she respects and enjoys. Why not?
