If you are into some explosive and chaotic first-person shooter gameplay, then the Battlefield series might be the perfect fit for you. For years, Battlefield and Call of Duty have been the two titans of warfare games in the gaming world, each of them having its own unique flavor, but with the upcoming Battlefield 6 release, it seems like the lines might be blurring.

Whispers, theories and key insights from the gaming community suggests that EA is probably taking a page or two from Activision’s (Call of Duty’s publishing company) playbook, and fans of the Bf series are not happy about it. So, is Battlefield 6 actually becoming a Call of Duty clone? Let’s delve deeper into this.

Apple TV+'s Taron Egerton-led crime drama Smokekeeps lighting up the streaming charts.

Per Flix Patrol, Smoke is still holding strong in the number five place on the list of the top ten streaming series available on Apple TV+. The series, which premiered nearly two months ago, has even reached the number three spot on the list of the top streaming programs overall on the platform, beating out competition like The Gorge starring Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy and the Owen Wilson-led golf comedy Stick.

Created by Dennis Lahane and based on the podcast Firebug, which explored the crimes of real-life arsonist John Leonard Orr, Smoke stars Taron Egerton as Dave Gudsen, an arson investigator and former firefighter who teams up with Jurnee Smollett's Detective Michelle Calderone in uncovering the truth about a string of fire attacks in the fictional city of Umberland. The series also stars Rafe Spall,...

Exclusive: Following the success of Happy Gilmore 2 and with The Naked Gun making its return to theaters this weekend, the comedy genre is looking to make a big comeback — and that goes for the marketplace as well as another big comedy package has found a home. Sources tell Deadline that following a big bidding war, Universal Pictures has landed the family comedy Dance Parents, with Charlize Theron and Channing Tatum on board to produce and develop as a starring vehicle for the pair.

Jonathan Levine is attached to direct and produce as well. Meghan Malloy is attached to pen the script.

Insiders say the project is in early development. Insiders close to the auction say the project drew a number of suitors before landing at Universal.

Taron Egerton doesn’t even blink when asked what he likes about Nate, the brutally violent ex-con he plays in Lionsgate’s new gritty crime thriller, “She Rides Shotgun.”

“I actually like that he hates himself,” he says. “He’s got that kind of reluctant hero thing, the kind of tortured hero, but he would never think of himself in those terms. He’s only reflective about his mistakes. I think he’s somebody that kind of walks around feeling like he’s not fit to be in the world, certainly not fit to be a father. That kind of emotional inarticulacy is quite interesting to me. I think it’s really human to walk around with a voice in your head telling you that you’ve fucked up.”

The film, directed by Nick Rowland and adapted from Jordan Harper’s novel, follows Nate being recently released from prison after...

As the list of James Bond contenders grows, Taron Egerton sets the record straight and takes himself out of the running. That's not to say he's not interested - it's just that the role is a long-term commitment, and that's "quite an undertaking" for him.

Taron Egerton hasn't received any casting calls for James Bond, and even if he's offered the part, he wouldn't take it. Speaking to Collider, the Kingsman star asserted he would be miscast as 007. "I don't think I'm a good choice for it," he mused. "I think I'm too messy for that. I think I'm not— I really love James Bond and particularly Daniel Craig's tenure. But I think I wouldn't be good at it, and I think there's so many cool, younger actors who would be great for it. I think it would be wasted on me, probably."

Fans have floated Egerton's name among...

20th Century Studios’ official trailer for Predator: Badlands reveals much more about the relationship between an android from Weyland-Yutani (from the Alien franchise) and an outcast Predator. Thia, played by Elle Fanning, offers to help the Predator, but it doesn’t seem impressed with her size.

“So this is your first hunt, and you’ve come to the most dangerous planet in the universe. You’re after a creature that can’t be killed—the definitive apex predator,” says Thia. After being picked up and rudely dropped, Thia winds up wishing the solitary predator with his solo mission.

Prey‘s director Dan Trachtenberg returns for the latest addition to the franchise. Trachtenberg also serves as a producer along with John Davis, Marc Toberoff, Ben Rosenblatt, and Brent O’Connor.

One of Bruce Willis’ final movies before he retired from acting in 2022 has shot up the streaming charts and is a number one hit on Prime Video. As the iconic star of the Die Hard series, Willis is one of the most recognizable action heroes of all time, having shot, kicked, and punched his way through countless blockbusters.

With an impressive career, Willis’ work stands for itself, and there are plenty of hidden gems that showcase his range beyond the action genre, as he’s taken on everything from horror classics like The Sixth Sense to quirky whimsy in Moonrise Kingdom. With so many roles to his name, audiences are now revisiting one of his final films on streaming.

Gasoline Alley Is Number 1 On Prime Video Bruce Willis Starred As Detective Bill Freeman

Image Source: 20th Century Studios Big news for fans of Taron Egerton, especially if you’ve been patiently waiting for an update on the stylish spy world of Kingsman! The actor recently opened up about his incredibly busy schedule and what it means for the long-anticipated third film in the main Kingsman saga. While nothing is “set in stone,” Egerton confirmed to Bingeworthy that both he and director Matthew Vaughn are keen to make it happen. He even revealed a recent chat with Vaughn: “He did call me on Friday night, actually. Yeah, look, we both want to do it. And I know Colin [Firth] is open to doing it, too.” Egerton believes there’s “a brilliant story to tell with the third Kingsman” and “still thinks it will happen.” That’s music to our ears! But while we eagerly await Eggsy’s return, you don’t have to wait...

Charlize Theron is an A-list icon with many memorable roles, but among her most popular is that of Furiosa in 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road. It was a character who had so much more story to explore following the release of the movie, leading to the development of the prequel: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Development was slow on the project, however, and Anya Taylor-Joy was eventually signed on to take over Theron's role in the film.

Back in 2020, Theron admitted that it felt "a little heartbreaking" that she wasn't the one playing Furiosa in the new movie. One year past the prequel's eventual release in 2024, Theron has commented on how she now feels about the situation. She clarified that she didn't feel personally disrespected about the recasting, nor did she have anything against Taylor-Joy. With that noted, Theron admitted that it still doesn't feel great thinking about losing the role.

Taron Egerton’s new crime drama just debuted on Apple TV+ on June 27, but it’s already climbing the Top 10 streaming charts. Per FlixPatrol, Smoke, which also stars Jurnee Smollett, has risen to the No. 3 spot on Apple TV+’s Top 10 chart. As of June 28, Smoke is just behind Stick and Murderbot and is ahead of Apple TV+ mainstays like Severanceand Ted Lasso.

Egerton notably starred in Netflix’s massive 2024 hit film Carry-On and 2019’s Elton John biopic Rocketman. He was also nominated for an Emmy in 2023 for his performance in Apple TV+’s Black Bird. Smoke reunites Egerton with Black Bird creator Dennis Lehane, who also created the new series. Lehane has written several novels that have been turned into films or TV shows, including Mystic River, Shutter Island, Gone Baby Gone, The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, and Mr. Mercedes.

Kevin James is a henchman trying to quit the mob in the first trailer for Guns Up. The movie marks the actor's return to the action genre after having played neo-Nazi leader Dominick five years earlier in Becky.

As the Guns Up trailer shows, quitting the mob is easier said than done, as James' character's final job goes off the rails. "With the clock ticking, the ex-cop has one night to get his unsuspecting family out of the city before he gets snuffed out," reads the synopsis for the action movie. The trailer features James' Ray Hayes showcasing his lethal skills, which leads to his son questioning whether he's "John Wick," the beloved assassin from the franchise of the same name, played by Keanu Reeves. However, after Ray's wife, Audrey (Christina Ricci), takes care of a few mob men herself, their daughter remarks to her brother that their dad "married John Wick.

Brad Pitt is currently making the media rounds to promote his new auto-racing movie F1.

Pitt, of course, has been doing this for decades, and we’re sure he’s reached the point where he doesn’t experience much anxiety ahead of an interview.

But the situation is a little different this time, as it’s Pitt’s first media tour since he finalized his divorce from Angelina Jolie.

Shiloh Jolie used her eighteenth birthday to free herself of her father’s surname.

At this point, it seems that all of Brad Pitt’s adult children have distanced themselves from him in one way or another.

But Shiloh was apparently the actor’s last hope at salvaging his public image as a father. Now, she’s not even a Pitt.

Over a year after she filed to ditch daddy’s surname, we know what name Shiloh is using today.

Kick-Ass 2 and Imaginary director Jeff Wadlow has lined up his next project, Devil’s Mouth, with Kathryn Newton and Lana Condor set to star.

The screenplay for Devil’s Mouth is by Aja Gabel and Mj Wesner and was featured on the 2019 Black List, the annual collection of the best unproduced scripts in Hollywood. Back then it was titled Apex and was listed with the following plot: “When old college friends on a trip to Mexico get trapped in an underwater cave system with a bull shark, old tensions and power struggles resurface as they fight to survive.” Later revisions have been made by Wadlow, and Deadline indicates that the setting has been moved from Mexico to Thailand.

Charlize Theron has thrown herself into several big action blockbuster movies in the last decade, including several turns in the Fast & Furious saga, and her Netflix franchise, The Old Guard. However, she made an appearance during Netflix’s Upfronts event sporting an injury sustained while working on her newest action thriller, Apex, which sees her teaming up with Carry-On star, Taron Egerton.

While it is hard to imagine Theron being able to outdo some of her previous thrillers in terms of action set-pieces, as Apex focuses on "a woman trying to rediscover herself only to be hunted by a ruthless and unforgiving human predator,” and takes place among plenty of precarious-looking mountains, it seems that she found a way to do just that, even if it meant risking her life – Tom Cruise style. She said:

"Our crew delivered a really impressive movie, and yours truly did some stunts and action — without a harness,...

Charlize Theron took the stage at Netflix’s 2025 Upfront “fresh off the mountain” from filming Apex, where she was injured on the set.

The star joked about hiding her fractured toe during filming on the film’s set in Australia.

“God, I miss early mornings in the wilderness, birds chirping, extremes babbling, and the leaves rustling as a serial killer waits for me,” Theron jokingly set at the Netflix event. “It’s actually a miracle that I’m here today. Apex only wrapped like a week ago, so I’m fresh off the mountain. I still have some Australian dirt under this pretty manicure, and my cute boot is hiding a fractured toe.”

Theron noted that filming Apex “was one of the most incredible experiences” of her life, adding, “We shot in beautiful locations, deep in gorgeous and stunning rivers in Australia, is no man’s land, literally no like no man’s land.

Netflix returned to the upfronts on Wednesday afternoon with a presentation that, at first, looked like it might be a production of Waiting for Gadot.

Initially looking awfully serious, Jude Law and Jason Bateman stood in respective spotlights on an otherwise empty stage at downtown’s Perelman Performing Arts Center in Manhattan. But the facade soon cracked. The dependably sardonic Bateman set up a trailer for their new series, Black Rabbit, as Law played his part and pushed one of the streamer’s chosen slogans of the day: “Welcome to the center of attention.”

The messaging has not changed since the last dog and pony show for media buyers: Netflix has achieved cultural ubiquity in a manner that no other streamer has come close. Naturally, it is the best place for advertising. Right? Right? Amy Reinhard, Netflix’s president of advertising, kicked off a one-ish hour spiel by reiterating that...

At its upfronts presentation, Netflix ordered two new series: “All the Sinners Bleed” and “The Body.”

“All the Sinners Bleed” is a nine-episode TV adaptation of S.A. Cosby’s thriller novel of the same name. “Haunted by his past in the FBI and his devout mother’s untimely death, the first Black Sheriff in a small Bible Belt County must lead the hunt for a serial killer that has quietly been preying on Black communities in Southern Virginia for years in the name of God,” the logline reads.

“Black Panther” co-writer Joe Robert Cole will serve as showrunner and direct the premiere and several other episodes. Executive producers include Cosby, Amblin Television and Higher Ground. Netflix and Higher Ground have worked together on the sports docuseries “Starting 5,” “Bodkin,” “Leave the World Behind,” “American Symphony,” “Rustin” and “Working: What We Do All Day.”

“The Body” is a coming of age drama created by Quinn Shephard.

Setting aside how John Cena defeated Randy Orton at Backlash 2025, he has once again made scripted history. This triumph follows his victory over Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, where he claimed the championship title.

However, unlike his clash with Rhodes, Cena’s encounter with Orton carried a vastly different weight. The match in St. Louis wasn’t just another title defense, but a battle steeped in history. Cena and Orton are more than just competitors; they are long-time rivals whose storied past added intensity and emotion to an already high-stakes showdown.

Randy Orton and John Cena first crossed paths in WWE back in 2002. Since then, both superstars have ascended to become the company’s defining faces, not only during the days of the Attitude Era but also well into the years that followed.

Apple TV+ has been on a roll, dropping some incredible movies and shows that are starting to turn heads worldwide. Their latest addition to the library is the Apple Original movie F1, previously known as Apex — a film about a washed-up driver and a rookie paired in a team that’s used to finishing at the bottom of the grid.

If you were to find the similarities between an F1 car and a fighter jet, it would probably be the inhuman g-force and attention of Jerry Bruckheimer and Joseph Kosinski.

The producer and director’s love for the sense of speed that cannot be achieved without putting someone in the cockpit who knows what they are doing. Tom Cruise, who is also a pilot, killed it with his role in Maverick, and now Brad Pitt getting into an F1 seat has left the F1 legend Lewis Hamilton in awe.

Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton are working on their new movie!

The Oscar-winning actress was seen handcuffed to a canoe while Taron paddled the boat on Tuesday (March 4) in Sydney, Australia.

Director Baltasar Kormákur told Tudum, “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.

AMC+ isn’t one of the biggest names in streaming, but does it show as many ads as the industry leaders do?

Although AMC+ isn’t one of the biggest streaming services on the market, it carries plenty of shows and movies that have gained notoriety over the years. Shows like “Better Call Saul,” “Dark Winds,” “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon,” and a wealth of other premium content calls AMC+ home, and it makes a worthy addition to any streaming collection.

AMC+ offers two plans: an ad-supported option for $7 per month, or an ad-free tier for $10 per month or $84 per year. If you’re trying to determine if you can skate by with the ads plan to save a little money, but you need to know how many ads you’ll actually see when watching, keep reading!

Apex Legends has recently received its latest update, Season 24 Takeover, and overall, the changes have been received positively. Players are enjoying the rework of several legends and the various balance changes. As is often the case with new patches, something always ends up being overpowered.

Surprisingly, it’s Ash, a legend many expected to receive buffs—but not to this extent. Her rework has made her faster, more aggressive, and incredibly mobile, making her feel more in line with her ruthless lore. But it seems like it came at the cost of the gameplay, ruining the player’s overall experience.

EA and Respawn just took the Apex Legends community by storm when they revealed that big changes are coming, and it may be Apex Legends 2.0.

While there’s no official release date, multiple reports suggest Ubisoft is planning a Counter-Strike 2-style overhaul rather than a full-fledged sequel. With the game nearing its 10th anniversary we are very due for an upgrade so let’s see what the developers are cooking up. Will we get a new game engine, graphical improvements, free to play?

The post Charlize Theron, Eric Bana, Taron Egerton take on the elements in Nsw for Baltasar Kormákur’s ‘Apex’ appeared first on If Magazine.

Deadline broke the news of Bana joining the cast, which is directed by Baltasar Kormákur and written by Jeremy Robbins.

An upcoming Netflix thriller, Apex, is set to bring together new and old Marvel stars Charlize Theron and Eric Bana, along with Carry-On'sTaron Egerton. Apex is “described as Free Solo meets Silence of the Lambs.”

Eric Bana is the latest actor to be added to the Apex cast, as Deadline reports, although his role is not known. The film sees Theron playing a rock climber who finds herself in the terrifying situation of being hunted in the wilderness. Egerton plays the psychopath stalking Theron’s character.

In the multiplayer shooter Apex Legends, being a champion is everything. The 60-player, squad-based game has become a massively popular esport worldwide, but unlike others that focus on military or fantasy warfare, Apex is actually about a game within a game, where competitors fight for glory in a Hunger Games-style battle royale.

It’s fitting, then, that the first-ever Apex Legends official anthem shares that same theme. Titled “CHAMPiONS,” by Japanese alt-metal band SiM, the track is a high-energy power ballad that weaves together the band’s signature genre-blending...

Deadline reports that Eric Bana will join Charlize Theron in Apex, a Netflix survival thriller directed by Baltasar Kormákur and written by Jeremy Robbins.

The project has been described as Free Solo meets The Silence of the Lambs, which sounds like an interesting combination. Theron stars as “a rock climber and adrenaline junkie who finds out that nature isn’t the only dangerous element out to get her when she sets out on an expedition in the wild.” Taron Egerton has also joined the cast as a psychopath who will be stalking Theron’s character. It’s not known who Bana will be playing in the movie.

Theron will also produce Apex alongside Aj Dix for Secret Menu; Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping and David Ready for Chernin Entertainment; Ian Bryce for Ian Bryce Productions; and Kormákur for Rvk Studios.

Eric Banahas found his next project, and it will be a story about a woman attempting to survive in a dangerous environment. According to Deadline, Bana has joined the cast of Apex. The announcement comes after the actor was seen as Ben Monroe in A Sacrifice, and he's also known for his villainous turn in J.J. Abbrams' Star Trek. Not much is known about the premise of Apex, other than the fact that the feature will be centered around a rock climber who will be forced to survive while being hunted. Eric Bana's character for this story hasn't been revealed yet. It remains to be seen how the actor will fit into what promises to be a thriller that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton have survived a lot in their respective careers as action stars: an undercover operation in East Berlin in Atomic Blonde; a deadly airport threat in Carry-On; an immortal revenge mission in The Old Guard; a worldwide killing spree in Kingsman: The Secret Service.In Apex, the two face a brand-new challenge: a ruthless game of cat and mouse set in the unforgiving landscape of the Australian wilderness.

“I couldn’t be more excited to start production on Apex,” director Baltasar Kormákur tells Tudum. “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 gauntlet in this unique survivor story.”
