Apex Teaser and Photos Released by Netflix

Netflix has released the official teaser trailer and the first photos for Apex, the upcoming action thriller film directed by Baltasar Kormákur.

Starring Charlize Theron, Taron Egerton, and Eric Bana, the film will begin streaming on Netflix on April 24, 2026. In the movie, a grieving woman seeks solace in the wilderness only to become ensnared in a deadly game of cat and mouse with 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,” director Baltasar Kormákur (Everest, Adrift) told the Netflix blog Tudum previously.

The film is being shot in New South Wales, Australia, home of the Blue Mountains. “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,” added Kormákur.

“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.”

Apex is produced by Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and David Ready for Chernin Entertainment; Ian Bryce for Ian Bryce Productions; Theron, Beth Kono, and A.J. Dix for Secret Menu; and Kormákur for RVK Studios.

The film is executive-produced by Ray Angelic, Will McCance, and Dawn Olmstead for Secret Menu. Jeremy Robbins wrote the script.

Apex has not yet been rated by the Motion Picture Association (MPA). Charlize Theron previously starred in Netflix’s The Old Guard and The Old Guard 2, Taron Egerton in Netflix’s Carry-On, and Eric Bana in Netflix’s Untamed.
