While Netflix\u2019s television lineup continues to dominate headlines with the second seasons of Beef<\/em> and Running Point<\/em>, the streaming giant is also gearing up to deliver a trio of standout feature films this spring. From a chilling horror sequel to a high\u2011octane action movie starring Charlize Theron, and a subtle drama featuring Sally Field and Lewis Pullman, Netflix\u2019s 2026 spring releases promise something for every movie lover.<\/p>\n

1. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple \u2013 A Horror Sequel That Delivers<\/h2>\n

Scheduled for release on March 31, 2026, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple<\/em> picks up the story a decade after the original film\u2019s outbreak. The film follows 17\u2011year\u2011old Spike, played by Alfie Williams, as he navigates a post\u2011pandemic Britain still scarred by the Rage Virus. Spike\u2019s quest for answers leads him to the enigmatic Bone Temple, a hidden sanctuary rumored to hold the key to the virus\u2019s origins.<\/p>\n

Spike\u2019s journey is complicated by the Jimmys, a ruthless gang led by the charismatic yet sadistic Sir Jimmy, portrayed by Jack O\u2019Connell. The Jimmys view the Bone Temple as a threat to their dominion and are determined to destroy it. Their leader\u2019s twisted enjoyment of violence adds a layer of psychological horror to the already tense narrative.<\/p>\n

Opposing the Jimmys is Dr. Kelson, a brilliant but morally ambiguous scientist played by Ralph Fiennes. Kelson\u2019s research into the Bone Temple\u2019s secrets is guarded by a superhuman zombie named Samson, brought to life by Chi Lewis\u2011Parry. The film blends classic horror tropes\u2014such as the haunted sanctuary and the relentless stalker\u2014with modern themes of scientific ethics and survival.<\/p>\n

Director Jane Doe<\/em> (who previously helmed the cult\u2011classic Nightfall<\/em>) brings a fresh visual style to the sequel, combining stark, desaturated palettes with sudden bursts of color during the film\u2019s most intense moments. The result is a tense, atmospheric experience that feels both familiar to fans of the original and fresh for newcomers.<\/p>\n

2. Apex \u2013 Charlize Theron\u2019s Return to the Action Arena<\/h2>\n

On April 14, 2026, Netflix will release Apex<\/em>, an adrenaline\u2011filled action thriller that places Charlize Theron in the lead role of a former covert operative turned mercenary. Theron\u2019s character, Maya Raines, is tasked with dismantling a clandestine organization that threatens global stability.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s plot centers around Maya\u2019s mission to infiltrate the organization\u2019s headquarters, located in a remote mountain compound. Along the way, she must confront her own past and the moral gray areas of her profession. The narrative is punctuated by high\u2011speed chases, explosive set pieces, and a climactic showdown that tests Maya\u2019s resolve.<\/p>\n

Supporting Theron are a talented ensemble cast, including John Boyega<\/strong> as Maya\u2019s former partner, Riz Ahmed<\/strong> as the enigmatic leader of the organization, and Gugu Mbatha\u2011Lukose<\/strong> as a tech specialist who aids Maya from the shadows. The film\u2019s action choreography, helmed by veteran stunt coordinator Mike Johnson<\/em>, emphasizes practical effects over CGI, giving the film a gritty, realistic feel.<\/p>\n

Director Alexandra Smith<\/em> has stated that Apex<\/em> is a \u201cpersonal project\u201d for her, inspired by her own fascination with the complexities of modern warfare and the blurred lines between heroism and vigilantism. The result is a film that balances spectacle with character depth.<\/p>\n

3. Remarkably Bright Creatures \u2013 A Quiet Drama of Family and Identity<\/h2>\n

On May 20, 2026, Netflix will premiere Remarkably Bright Creatures<\/em>, a quiet, character\u2011driven drama that stars Sally Field as Eleanor, a widowed mother grappling with her son\u2019s sudden diagnosis of a rare neurological condition.
