admonition : There are spoilers ahead for Back in Action . A spinoff of one ofBack in Action ’s best type is more interesting to me than a continuation . Back in Action ’s mould of charactersis led by two former spies , Matt ( Jamie Foxx ) and Emily ( Cameron Diaz ) . They step away from the world of espionage fifteen years ago , got married , and had two children , and built a living in the suburb . When their cover version are blown , Matt and Emily must rely on their spy science to protect their mob and to preventBack in Action ’s ICS Keyfrom falling into the wrong hand .
Fortunately , Matt and Emily are not alone in their combat . Matt reveals that he obscure the ICS Key at the place of Emily ’s female parent , Ginny(Glenn Close ) , and she ultimately helps her daughter and Logos - in - law economize the day . Ginny ’s boyfriend , Nigel ( Jamie Demetriou ) , and Baron ( Andrew Scott ) prove to be helpful friend as well , despite Matt and Emily erroneously believing that Baron was the one after the ICS Key . Back in Action ’s endingsets up a verbatim sequel when Baron come to Matt and Emily for help , but I would rather see a spinoff travel along another character .
Back In Action Teases An Interesting Prequel For Glenn Close’s Ginny

The independent frame-up for a continuation comes from Baron telling Emily that the body of the villainous Chuck ( Kyle Chandler ) was never found and that Emily needs to recruit her sire . Back in Actionalso lays the foundation for a prequel about Ginny . There are many references to Ginny being a fabled former MI6 sniper who was unequalled in her field . Her thrilling past only becomes more challenging with the reveal that her ex-wife - husband , Emily ’s Father of the Church , was ostensibly a spy as well .
The ICS Key is the Macguffin in Netflix ’s Back in Action that is revealed to have been cover by Matt , and he concealed this true statement from Emily .

These developments make me require to seea prequel that explore Ginny ’s time as a deadly MI6 sniperand that shows her relationship with Emily ’s pappa . As long as the prequel does n’t take place too early in Ginny ’s career , there will be no need to recast , and Close , who is a phenomenal actor , can still play Ginny . Seeing Ginny as an MI6 factor at the height of her career is enough to betray me on a prequel . The prequel can also provide more sixth sense into Emily ’s past and what it was like growing up with Ginny as her mother .
A Back In Action Prequel Could Reveal The Origins Of Ginny’s Foxhunter Manor
The Impressive Location Is Intertwined With Ginny’s Past
Matt explains to Emily that he hid the ICS Key at Ginny ’s home , Foxhunter Manor , because it is always well - protected . His logical thinking make common sense when Foxhunter Manor is shown , as the wealthy and luxurious - looking estate of the realm has state - of - the - art surety and is fill with spyware engineering science . A prequel focused on Ginny can reveal more about the parentage and history of thisBack in Actionlocationand how it played into Ginny ’s career with MI6 .
Further geographic expedition of Foxhunter Manor and how well - guarded it is will make it even more impactful that Chuck and his mercenaries are able to breach the security duringBack in Action .
The mansion can be the primal setting for the Ginny - focused prequel , not only because it is her abode , but because it go perfectly into the narrative of Ginny being a advanced and talented undercover agent . It can serve as both her home plate and her base of operations , which is loop with Ginny ’s telling and mysterious persona . Further geographic expedition of Foxhunter Manor and how well - guarded it is will make it even more impactful that Chuck and his soldier of fortune are capable to breach the security duringBack in Action .

Back In Action 2 Could Help To Better Set Up A Ginny Prequel Movie
The Sequel Will Introduce Emily’s Dad
Even though I am more interested in a Ginny prequel , it would in all likelihood benefit from a sequel being released first . Back in Action 2can introduce Emily ’s pa , make him just as interesting as Ginny , and provide tantalizing intimation about his yesteryear . With both Ginny and Emily ’s dad established as entertaining fibre with cryptical past times , there will be more frame-up and more general sake in a prequel about the two lineament . The prequel can show Ginny and Emily ’s dad becoming undercover agent and lessen in love .
concord toNetflix ’s Top 10,Back in Actionwas the rain buckets platform ’s most - watched movie during its first hebdomad , with 46.8 million views .
The story can also show how the two legendary undercover agent pass out of love , as he is clearly no longer in her living duringBack in Action , and Nigel is now Ginny ’s boyfriend . When discussingBack in Action ’s cliffhanger ending , director Seth Gordon suggest that Ginny"met him somewhere through work,“and the story of that meeting is one of several elements I would wish to see incorporated into the prequel . A sequel and then a Ginny prequel is the best way for theBack in Actionstory to stay on .
