When I think of Cameron Diaz’s most iconic movies, The Holiday, My Best Friend’s Wedding, There’s Something About Mary, and Shrek immediately come to mind. Notably, all of those are either great rom-coms or are centered around a romance. Now, after making her big return to acting last year in Back in Action, she’s about to be back in action in the rom-com genre. After retiring from acting and taking a break that lasted 11 years, Cameron Diaz is back in the game in full force. In the time since the release of Back in Action (which you can stream with a Netflix subscription), she lined up five more projects that she’ll be acting in. This includes Shrek 5, which will be released in 2027, as well as Outcome, which is on the 2026 movie schedule. However, today, we’re going to focus on the untitled romantic comedy she’s set to star in alongside Stephen Merchant. At the moment, this romantic comedy is untitled; however, we did get some major casting news about it. Per Deadline, Diaz is set to star alongside Merchant, who is also the director and co-writer of the film. Sherry Cola and Josh Segarra are also set to star in this movie, and it was recently revealed that Lisa Gilroy, Myra Lucretia Taylor, Dustin Ybarra and Fabrizio Guido have joined the ensemble as well. All these folks are very funny, which will serve this movie’s premise perfectly.
