After quitting Hollywood in 2014 to spend more time with her family, Diaz later announced that, after being convinced by Foxx, she would be making a comeback to the big screen in 2022 with Back in Action. The period of filming was December 2022–April of last year. But Foxx's rumored diva conduct on the set ruined principal photography, a charge that Diaz flatly refuted.

A major and unannounced health scare that Foxx had in April of last year further complicated matters; as a result, Back in Action had to shoot the remaining scenes starring Foxx with body doubles. Since then, Foxx has recovered completely.
