Wolfs’ Sequel Canceled After Director’s Fallout with Apple

The sequel to Wolfs, starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, has been canceled after director Jon Watts said he no longer trusted Apple as a creative partner.

Watts announced on Friday, revealing that Apple’s decision to scale back its movie strategy led to the cancellation.

Wolfs was originally meant for a larger theatrical release, but it only had a limited one-week run in theaters before hitting Apple TV+.

Watts explained that he was blindsided by Apple’s shift in strategy, which came without any prior explanation or discussion.

He also revealed that Apple had announced the sequel in a press release, despite his request not to include the news, seemingly to create a positive spin on their streaming pivot.

In response, Watts returned the funding for the sequel and decided to cancel the project altogether.
