**Los Angeles, CA** – Taron Egerton and Charlize Theron are set to lead the cast of Netflix’s new thriller, *Apex*, directed by Baltasar Kormákur.

Egerton, known for his roles in the *Kingsman* films and the upcoming Netflix thriller *Carry On*, will be seen next in the Apple TV+ film *Firebug* and the indie thriller *She Rides Shotgun*. *Apex* marks another high-profile project for the rising star.
Production details for *Apex* have yet to be announced.
