It’s best to leave the hunt to the stars of Apex, Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton, who will duke it out in the Australian wilderness in director Baltasar Kormákur’s new action thriller. The film’s trailer is joined this week by the first looks at comedies like Running Point Season 2 — in which Kate Hudson returns as Los Angeles Waves manager Isla Gordon — and several documentaries, including A Gorilla Story: Told by David Attenborough.
