Would he have to quit the business?” Gordon asked his friend, movie producer Beau Bauman. “Or what if it was Mr. and Mrs. Smith, not Jason Bourne?”

That was ultimately stuff that’s not in the movie,” Gordon told Decider, when asked about the reports of a double replacing Foxx.

Back in Action' contains a talented ensemble to carry out the spy story helmed by Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz.
