The Australian wilderness becomes the battleground for Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton in filmmaker Baltasar Kormákur's upcoming Netflix original action-adventure Apex. The makers have released the first teaser.
The streamer has announced an official streaming date of April 24, 2026. The film also features Eric Bana in an integral role.
Theron plays a grieving woman who happens to be an adrenaline junkie seeking to distract herself with some adventure in the wilderness. However, she realises that she may have to deal with a far bigger challenge: a serial killer.
“Working in the rugged, beautiful terrains of Australia with three of the world’s most talented, dedicated actors in Charlize Theron, Taron Egerton, and Eric Bana is such a joy — even as I put them through the [ringer] in this unique survivor story,” Kormákur told Netflix last year.
The film was shot in New South Wales, Australia, at the rugged Blue Mountains mountain range. Kormákur, for whom the filming experience was challenging, expressed his gratitude to the people of New South Wales for their encouraging cooperation.
“For a film like Apex — where the elements and the terrain are characters that loom just as large as the movie stars battling in it — no other country in the world could have taken the place of Australia as our primary location. The unrivaled landscape, studio facilities, and talented crews in New South Wales have been a boon to this production. I want to thank the people of NSW, the NSW government, and the Australian Government’s Location Offset for all the support we’ve received in making this journey possible.”
