Director Jon Watts has revealed that the sequel to the Apple TV+ film "Wolfs," starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, has been canceled. Watts cited a loss of trust in Apple as a creative partner due to their shifting movie strategy.
Originally intended for a wide theatrical release, "Wolfs" had a limited run in theaters before streaming on Apple TV+. Watts expressed surprise at this change, stating it was made without explanation. He further revealed that Apple announced his involvement in a sequel despite his explicit request not to, seemingly to soften the news of their streaming pivot.
In response, Watts returned the money he received for the sequel and abandoned the project. This decision reflects growing concerns about Apple's commitment to theatrical releases and its impact on filmmakers.
