The fact that they gave Taron the Australian accent and had the South African born Charlize do an American accent is weird to me lol.

136

Varekai79 Mar 25, 2026 +53

And now I'm thinking it would be more fun if the actors switched roles with Charlize playing the psycho predator.

53

immersemeinnature Mar 25, 2026 +26

That would be so much better

26

Varekai79 Mar 25, 2026 +4

I can't remember if she's ever played a villain before, now that I think of it. Edit: Monster and the F&F movies!

4

Shaggy__94 Mar 25, 2026 +12

She was the villain in those Snow White live action movies they did about fifteen-ish years ago.

12

Varekai79 Mar 25, 2026 +1

Oh yeah! Totally forgot about that one. Thank you.

1

SgtGo Mar 25, 2026 +13

She was Aileen Wuornos in Monster. Pretty big villain

13

Varekai79 Mar 25, 2026 +1

Holy f***, I totally forgot about that one. I must have Charlize amnesia.

1

n_g79 Mar 25, 2026 +6

not sure you could call it full on villain (before the inevitable have to fight together with one of the "family" to make it out of a different villains trap), but she was an antagonist in the F & F films

6

Varekai79 Mar 25, 2026 +2

I erased her hideous hairstyles in those movies from my mind. Guess she's played a bunch of villains in her career.

2

Formal_Sand_3178 Mar 25, 2026 +3

She plays a serial killer in the movie Monster and she’s basically unrecognizable in the role, really great performance.

3

Kazen_Orilg Mar 25, 2026 +3

I mean she got an Academy and a SAG for playing a serial killer.

3

smokingace182 Mar 25, 2026 +2

Also a “villain” in one of the fast furious movies.

2

DGSmith2 Mar 25, 2026 +2

Monster & one of the Fast & The Furious films.

2

ctan0312 Mar 25, 2026 +1

I don’t think that would be better for the vast majority of the general audience. There’s a clear difference in the way people feel about a creepy guy following a woman alone in the wild vs the other way around.

1

Waste-Scratch2982 Mar 25, 2026 +12

Charlize doesn't have an South African accent from all her interviews, if she does she code-switches and hides it from the public. It's like how Eva Green only speaks in a British accent now despite being French

12

DrGarrious Mar 25, 2026 +3

You are right. Had a family member work on this and she doesn't have an accent anymore at all.

3

DoomguyFemboi Mar 26, 2026 +1

iirc she doesn't have one. She didn't know any English when she came to the US and she learned it without developing a South African accent. Which is wild because English is really prevalent there.. ..Which makes me wonder how true this is. Why is this rattling around in my head. One of those things I may or may not have heard/read at some point over the last few decades so it wedged into my brain like a tick. EDIT googled it. Could've done that beforehand. But here we are. > Theron was born in Benoni, a suburb 40km (25 miles) east of Johannesburg, and moved to the US almost 30 years ago. > She said she didn’t speak English until she was 19 because “nobody” in her predominantly Afrikaans neighbourhood spoke it.

1

MissingLink101 Mar 25, 2026 +5

Has she ever actually used a South African accent in a film? Can only think of American or English accents for her...

5

SunHitsTheSky Mar 25, 2026 +1

Yes, in The Last Face.

1

LateForTheSun Mar 25, 2026 +2

It's like when they had Pattinson play the French king and Tiboday Chaboday play the English king in, *The King*

2

Varekai79 Mar 25, 2026 +148

This looks very Netflix.

asquishyllama Mar 25, 2026 +42

lol for some reason the thumbnail immediately made me think Damsel

42

TomBirkenstock Mar 25, 2026 +12

Honestly, smaller scale genre movies are kind of the best fit for streaming.

12

silent_boy_2 Mar 25, 2026 +3

Why is she doing only Netflix movies ?

3

Varekai79 Mar 25, 2026 +6

$$$. Taron Egerton seems to be stuck in the streaming sphere as well.

6

colinisthereason Mar 25, 2026 +3

Contract. A lot of talent have Netflix contracts, like Millie Bobbie Brown and it looks like Emily Bader just got one, too. Jenna Ortega, there's plenty

Looks like a differently-styled 'Most Dangerous Game'

0

NATHAN4U007 Mar 25, 2026 +37

Was thinking Taron's performance and look reminds me of James Mcavoy in Split which came out 10 years ago which is also the age difference between the two actors. Both are also british with similar height and build.

37

colemon1991 Mar 25, 2026 +8

Taron's career choices have been unorthodox but clearly paying off.

Mandalore108 Mar 25, 2026 +11

I'll watch anything he's in tbh, he's great.

Carry On rules.

SudoDarkKnight Mar 25, 2026 +1

He did us all dirty with that f****** Terminal movie though. Never have I seen a bigger piece of shit in recent memory

1

Mandalore108 Mar 25, 2026 +1

Carry-on? That was just a bog-standard movie, not amazing and definitely not bad.

1

SudoDarkKnight Mar 25, 2026 +1

oh haha - I dunno why I thought it was called Terminal. Anyway I thought it was awful. The cheesy text overlays and everything.. just trash. I do generally love Egertons work tho

ahuangb Mar 25, 2026

riegspsych325 Mar 25, 2026 +7

thejoshimitsu Mar 25, 2026 +10

You know that an American wrote the screenplay because no Aussie would ever call it a gas station.

10

MissingLink101 Mar 25, 2026 +10

Lovely use of Chemical Brothers which is always a good thing in my book (might go listen to the Hanna soundtrack now)

I've seen some things man..and some stuff.. wouldn't recommend it!

>Testing her limits in the remote and unforgiving Australian wilderness, Sasha (Charlize Theron) suddenly finds herself not only up against the elements, but also facing off against a ruthless and lethal predator (Taron Egerton). Watch Apex – only on Netflix April 24.

19

MajesticCentaur Mar 25, 2026 +29

What kind of predator is Taron Egerton playing? The kind with claws or the kind that's in the White House?

29

Monster-Zero Mar 25, 2026 +11

Yes. The true apex predator should have the traits of *all* predators. First he creeps, then he reaps.

Best-Statistician294 Mar 25, 2026 +2

eschewthefat Mar 25, 2026

The president sent a n*** outline of a prepubescent girl to Jeffrey Epstein for his birthday and recited a poem about how they both know each others secrets. The shark jump was a decade back but you’re still living in this reality. Quit trying to white wash it. Move on if you don’t think it’s funny

chadwicke619 Mar 25, 2026 -1

What a random and weird place to go out of your way to make a political statement lol. Who in 2026 thinks to themselves, “You know what will make this *movie* discussion even more fun?! A political joke!”

-1

MajesticCentaur Mar 25, 2026 +1

I don't think it's political to hate pedophiles.

1

ToneBone12345 Mar 25, 2026 +1

Seems like a mix of the most dangerous game and real life serial killer Robert Hansen

guilhermefdias Mar 25, 2026 +21

Dude, it's quite apparent how negative reddit can be, holy shit. Pessimist folk on this damn site.

21

flyvehest Mar 25, 2026 +10

I was surprised as well, I think looks pretty decent, and Taron looks like he's having a lot of fun with the role.

10

Prawnboi- Mar 25, 2026 -4

Yeah everyone should accept and love the Netflix slop being produced weekly!!!

-4

guilhermefdias Mar 25, 2026 -1

Oh yeah, if it is Netflix let's automatically trash it, f*** it. Reminds me of the cancer cancel culture. Anyways... Reddit being Reddit, it is expected.

Pickupyoheel Mar 25, 2026 +3

I’d rather watch Surviving the Game.

3

totemspinner Mar 25, 2026 +3

Really hoping this is all a cute play on words, Edgerton gets abruptly eaten by a giant alligator and Theron spends the second half of the film fleeing, then hunting the real “apex” threat.

3

bonsai1214 Mar 25, 2026 +1

Seems like some other group ends up hunting both of them.

1

JaeTheOne Mar 25, 2026 +3

Love Charlize, but this looks like the meh-ist of the meh

3

Shaggy__94 Mar 25, 2026 +2

This looks like the perfect adequate but generic background movie that Netflix is known for.

2

Zman734 Mar 25, 2026 +2

It's a ripoff of a film we've all seen a dozen times before but the two leads are pretty good so I'll check it out.

Dunno why this is set in australia with this cast u could of set it in england or somewhere else makes no sense

JohnGalactusX Mar 25, 2026 +1

Feels a lot like Send Help.

1

Waste-Scratch2982 Mar 25, 2026 +6

It’s more like Wolf Creek with the Australian setting

Gloomy_Interview_525 Mar 25, 2026 -1

I'll be brave and say these trailers with this random garbage music on top is whats killing peoples desire to watch movies. Who thinks that matches the tone of what this movie is trying to be?

Hold the f*** up. Chemical Brothers are great.

7

Gloomy_Interview_525 Mar 25, 2026 -4

True, I'll be disappointed if the next horror trailer I watch doesn't have them too... Who TF cares if you like the chemical brothers lol

Horror?

1

Gloomy_Interview_525 Mar 25, 2026 -1

\> Who thinks that matches the tone of what this movie is trying to be? Evidently its appropriate to put any song onto any genre/trailer (i understand OP isn't horror), so long as kevkev likes it, keep up

It actually would be great if life gave me problems like this. I would love it if all I had to do was fight back instead of giving in or giving up. I’m ready to fight but I can’t solve my problems like that. I guess that’s why they keep making these movies. Kinda lame if you ask me.
