Initially, 'Wolfs' was slated for a significant theatrical release, but Apple shifted the strategy to a limited release followed by streaming, disappointing the film's team.

Watts expressed his shock at this sudden change in release strategy, which he learned about less than a week before it was publicly announced.

Feeling blindsided by Apple's decision, Watts lost trust in the company as a creative partner and returned the funding for a planned sequel.

Despite his pride in the film and eagerness to work with the cast again, Watts announced that he would not be directing a sequel to 'Wolfs'.

This decision was confirmed on November 22, 2024, when Watts stated that the sequel is no longer in development.

Sources close to Apple maintain that 'Wolfs' was a success and remain open to the idea of a sequel, despite Watts's decision.

The film also includes performances from Amy Ryan and has become the most-viewed feature in Apple TV+ history.

Jon Watts, known for directing the 'Spider-Man' films, helmed the Apple TV+ film 'Wolfs,' which stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney as professional fixers.

Released on September 23, 2024, 'Wolfs' features a plot centered around two rival fixers who must collaborate to cover up a mistake made by a prominent New York official.

Reports indicate that both Pitt and Clooney had contributed funds back to the studio to support a theatrical release, raising questions about the film's limited showing.

While Apple claims 'Wolfs' was a success, industry reports suggest it was not successful enough to warrant a sequel.

Watts expressed frustration that Apple ignored his request not to announce his involvement in the sequel, which he felt was an attempt to create a positive narrative.
