The 2016 movie – which flopped at the box office – has been at the centre of allegations involving him and co-star Rebel Wilson.
Rebel, 44, and Sacha, 52, starred opposite each other and it also featured an appearance by Isla.
But he recently revealed he was taking legal action against Rebel after she detailed an uncomfortable encounter working with an “a**hole actor.”
This week Isla, 48, was spotted on a “girls night” with fellow Hollywood movie stars Naomi Watts, and Michelle Dockery and film producer Bruna Papandrea.

The stars lined up for a selfie and Isla flashed a huge smile alongside her girlfriends.
She posted the photo alongside a love heart emoji and the caption “girls night”.
While Isla hasn’t mentioned anything about her estranged husband’s recent scandal, she has been been following that classic post break-up move of spending more time with her mates.
Back in January, she hung out with pal Rosamund Pike, despite saying in her caption that she was “only in LA for one night.”
REBEL RISING
Rebel last night broke her silence just hours after Sacha and Isla announced their split.

A statement on their Instagram yesterday was shared alongside a photo of the Isla and Sacha dressed in tennis clothes.
They said: “After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down.
“In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage.
“We have always prioritised our privacy and have been quietly working through this change.
“We forever share in our devotion and love for our children.”
“We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy.”
Following their statement, fans took to social media and called the wording “insane”.
Another branded the comical statement the “weirdest way to announce a divorce ever.”
Meanwhile, Rebel took to Instagram to plug her upcoming “in person” interviews discussing her memoir, Rebel Rising, while posting a link to buy tickets.
Rebel writes in the book how it “felt like Sacha Baron Cohen had sexually harassed me” during filming in South Africa in 2016 when she played Sacha’s girlfriend in action comedy Grimsby.
She also claimed that while filming Grimsby the comic would “mention that he wanted me to go naked in a future scene” — which she said was in “no way essential” to the plot.
A rep for Sacha previously denied Rebel’s claims in a statement to TMZ.
Sacha and Isla are parents to two teenage daughters and a nine-year-old son.
All the signs Isla and Sacha had secretly split
The couple have revealed they actually split last year, despite only just revealing their divorce.
Here we look at the signs they had already broken up before revealing their split news:
Social media silence – Sacha has been absent from Instagram since last Christmas.
Spending time with friends – Isla has been been following that classic post break-up move of spending more time with her girlfriends.
Hidden ring finger – No fans noticed at the time, but in many Instagram shots from this year, Isla has hidden her right hand so her wedding finger was not visible in many shots.
Missing man – The last image Isla shared of her and Sacha prior to the divorce announcement was back in November last year.
They are understood to have still been living together in Los Angeles and London after their split last year.
Though fans spotted the signs they had parted ways, with their last social media snap together taken in November.
They are believed to have told friends months ago that they had called it quits.
In October they were seen in London celebrating Jewish new year and, according to onlookers, “seemed very much together”.
