“Brad agreed that they would finish shoots booked in but has postponed planned production over the next two months,” a source close to the movie shared with The Sun.

“The cast and crew of Apex have been filming in Budapest but Brad has called for the future dates to be put back, in solidarity with everyone striking,” the source continued.

“Postponing the production was a massive call, especially financially, but Brad has listened to the concerns of the people he works with and wants to show his support,” the source added.

As of right now, production for Apex is scheduled to resume in November with the next planned dates for shooting are in Las Vegas.
