Jon Watts has reached an agreement with Apple to write and direct the follow-up to his film, which stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney as fixers who unintentionally end up handling the same assignment. It remains uncertain whether Pitt and Clooney have finalized their deals to return for the sequel.
In addition to the sequel news, Apple has announced that the original Wolfs will premiere on Apple TV+ on September 27, following a limited theatrical release by Sony on September 20. The film was initially slated for a wider release.
Produced by Clooney’s Smokehouse and Pitt’s Plan B, Wolfs also features performances by Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams, Poorna Jagannathan, Richard Kind, and Zlatko Burić. The film’s production team includes Watts and McGunigle, along with Clooney, Grant Heslov, Pitt, Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner. Michael Beugg is the executive producer.
Pitt is also scheduled to appear in another Apple project, F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Additional Apple titles include The Instigators, starring Matt Damon and directed by Doug Liman, and Steve McQueen’s WWII drama Blitz.
Watts, renowned for his direction of the recent Spider-Man trilogy for Sony, achieved remarkable success with No Way Home, which amassed $1.9 billion globally.
