Andrew Scott joins Cameron Diaz's comeback Netflix movie
Sherlock alum Andrew Scott is among the latest stars to join Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx's upcoming Netflix movie Back in Action.
According to Deadline, Scott will be joining the project alongside his Fleabag co-star Jamie Demetriou, who played Bus Rodent on the acclaimed comedy-drama series.
McKenna Roberts (Euphoria) and Rylan Jackson (Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves) have also been cast. They join previously announced stars Kyle Chandler and Glenn Close.
Other than it being billed as an action comedy, specific details regarding the film's plot are still under wraps.
Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) is handling directing duties, with Jenno Topping, Peter Chernin and Sharla Sumpter Bridgett producing.
Scott is best known for his role as Jim Moriarty in the BBC series Sherlock, for which he won a BAFTA. He also earned a Golden Globe nomination and won a Critics' Choice Television Award for his role as The Priest on Fleabag.
Scott was recently seen in the medieval comedy film Catherine Called Birdy and will next appear in the upcoming film Strangers alongside The Crown's Claire Foy and Normal People's Paul Mescal.
Back in Action marks Diaz's return to acting. It's her first film since 2014's The Other Woman, Sex Tape and Annie.
Diaz previously spoke about her decision to retire from her acting career, telling Gwyneth Paltrow's In Goop Health: The Session that she wanted to take control of her life.
"When you're making a movie... they own you. You're there for 12 hours a day for months on end, you have no time for anything else," she said.
"I realised I handed off parts of my life to all these other people. I had to basically take it back and take responsibility for my own life."
Netflix has not yet announced a release date for Back in Action.
