Cameron Diaz’s return to acting continues as she films her latest project in New York City Cameron Diaz was spotted filming her latest movie in New York City on March 13, 2026, marking another step in her comeback after a decade-long hiatus from the industry. The 53-year-old actress, known for her iconic roles in films like Charlie’s Angels and Shrek, is currently working on an untitled rom-com directed and co-written by Stephen Merchant. The project, which is set to debut on Amazon MGM Studios, follows a workaholic Brit employed at an upscale New York hotel who strikes a deal with a struggling stand-up comedian for health insurance. The fake marriage between the characters evolves into an unexpected romance, a storyline that has drawn comparisons to Merchant’s own experiences with comedy and relationships. Diaz’s return to acting began in 2025 with her role in the Netflix action-comedy Back in Action, where she starred alongside Jamie Foxx. The film, released in January 2025, marked her first major project since her 2014 performance as Miss Hannigan in Annie. Diaz celebrated her casting in Back in Action with a social media post in June 2022, expressing excitement about rejoining the industry. She later reflected on the decision to return, stating during a 2025 interview that she felt grateful to have the opportunity to act again after a decade away. “It is a privilege to make films, and we are all so lucky to do what we do,” she said, acknowledging the personal sacrifices made during her hiatus. In addition to Back in Action, Diaz is set to star in the upcoming Netflix action-comedy Bad Day, directed by Jake Szymanski. The film, scheduled for release in 2025, features Diaz as a single mother navigating a chaotic day while trying to fulfill a promise to her daughter.#cameron_diaz #stephen_merchant #amazon_mgm_studios #jamie_foxx #benji_madden
