Director Jon Watts Cancels Planned Sequel to Brad Pitt and George Clooney's 'Wolfs'

Watts cited a lack of trust in Apple after a surprise decision to prioritize streaming over a promised wide theatrical release.

Jon Watts, director of the hit action-comedy 'Wolfs,' canceled plans for a sequel despite its record-breaking success on Apple TV+.
Watts stated that Apple abruptly shifted from a promised wide theatrical release to a limited release followed by streaming, without prior discussion or warning.
The director returned the money he received for the sequel and expressed dissatisfaction with Apple's handling of the project, calling it a breach of trust.
George Clooney and Brad Pitt, who starred in the film, reportedly gave back portions of their salaries to support a wider theatrical release, but the effort fell short.
Apple has not officially commented on Watts' statements but reportedly remains open to the possibility of a sequel in the future.
