Theron noted that real-life memories like that crossed her mind while filming Apex, which was set in the Australian outback. She described her character Sasha as scrappy, tenacious and resilient, praising the role’s grit. The survivalist thriller also stars Taron Egerton and is directed by Baltasar Kormákur.
Offscreen, Theron appeared on the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce and joked to Jason about her daughters. She called them “hormonal nightmares,” saying they’re strong, stubborn and fierce when they love — and when they argue she worries they won’t stop. Theron adopted Jackson in 2012 (now 14) and August in 2015 (now 11). Apex arrives on Netflix April 24, 2026.
