Today, Netflix released the official trailer for Apex. In the movie, Charlize Theron stars as Sasha, a “grieving woman” who embarks on a solo trip through the Australian wilderness. She crosses paths with Egerton’s character, who’s revealed to be a psychotic killer attempting to hunt her down. Check out the Apex trailer in the space below:
Apex Could Be Taron Egerton’s Next Big Netflix Hit
Back in 2024, the Taron Egerton vehicle Carry-On became one of Netflix’s biggest original movies ever, winning audiences over with its old-school thrills reminiscent of classic action films. As the world waits for Carry-On 2 to come to fruition, Apex has the potential to become Egerton’s next big streaming hit. Similar to Carry-On, the film sports a simple, throwback premise (a lone woman is hunted by a vicious killer) and is looking to get by on the pairing of stars at its center. In Carry-On, Egerton played the hero opposite Jason Bateman’s villain. Now, it’s Egerton’s turn to be the adversary to Charlize Theron’s protagonist.
Egerton looks to be having the time of his life letting loose and playing an unhinged psycho in Apex. For those who are only familiar with the actor’s work in the Kingsman series, this character reads as a drastic change of pace for Egerton, but he should be a menacing presence. In some ways, Apex is utilizing Egerton’s natural charm and charisma as a means to disarm the audience before showcasing just how dangerous of an individual he can be. His character seems to be taking a tremendous amount of pleasure in making Sasha’s life a living hell, and it’ll be interesting to learn more about the killer when the film releases.
