Foxx and Diaz from Back in Action, alongside Andrew Scott as Baron.
Warning: Major spoilers for Back in Action below!Back in Action's cast elevates the latest Netflix action comedy - and uses the audience's knowledge of their previous roles against them. Back in Action marks Cameron Diaz's return to acting after a decade-long hiatus, with the movie leaning heavily on the comic chemistry between her and co-star Jamie Foxx.
Posts Back In Action Knows Audiences Expect Andrew Scott To Be A Villain From Sherlock to Ripley, Andrew Scott isn't known for playing good guys Back in Action casts Andrew Scott as Baron, an MI6 operative who once went out with Emily and is clearly still in love with her. Emily and Matt later suspect Baron is the one chasing after them and trying to recover the ICS key. Of course, audiences will suspect Scott based on his past roles.
Back in Action isn't particularly creative, but Scott's casting against type was a smart move on the filmmaker's part. The actor has played plenty of good guy roles, but audiences are almost predisposed to view him as a villain in disguise - especially as he recently played Ripley on the Netflix series of the same name. Sadly, that means Scott doesn't get much to do in the film, other than issue orders and look stern.
