Jon Watts Cancels 'Wolfs' Sequel Over Dispute With Apple

The director cites a lack of trust in Apple after the abrupt shift of the film's release strategy, despite its record-breaking success on Apple TV+.

Director Jon Watts confirmed he will not proceed with a sequel to 'Wolfs,' citing creative differences and a loss of trust in Apple as a partner.
The decision follows Apple's unexpected move to change the film's release from a wide theatrical run to a limited one, favoring streaming on Apple TV+.
'Wolfs,' starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, became the most-watched film in Apple TV+ history, but this success was not enough to secure a sequel.
Clooney and Pitt had reportedly advocated for a theatrical release, even returning money to ensure it, but were disappointed by Apple's pivot to streaming.
While Apple has expressed openness to a sequel, Watts returned the development funds and stated he no longer wishes to collaborate with the company.
