The bar for Julia Robert's 'After the Hunt' is pretty high, thanks to her electrifying performance in Netflix's 'Leave the World Behind,' released in 2023. That apocalyptic thriller, directed by Sam Esmail, had us biting our nails with its intense cyberattack scenario, and Roberts nailed her role alongside Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, Myha'la Herrold, and Kevin Bacon.

With 'Leave the World Behind' smashing Netflix records—121 million views in just three weeks—we're eagerly anticipating her next move. Can she replicate that magic in 'After the Hunt'? We'll have to watch the movie to find out!
