The teaser trailer for the action/thriller movie was released early Friday morning. In the movie Diaz and Foxx star as a pair of ex-CIA agents turned suburban parents who are unexpectedly dragged back into their former life.

When Netflix announced Diaz's return to the screen back in 2022, it was revealed that fans had "an unexpected person to thank for getting her back in action."

It turned out to be NFL star Tom Brady who had convinced The Other Woman star to make her long-awaited comeback.

Foxx tweeted an audio recording in which he had Brady share some words of advice with Diaz.

When Diaz shared with Foxx that she was nervous about coming out of retirement, her co-star said, "Listen, I got somebody on the other line that can help you with this."

"I was talking to Jamie and he said you need a few tips on how to un-retire," Brady said when he was patched into the call. "I'm relatively successful at un-retiring."

"Honestly," Diaz responded. "Exactly what I needed."
