Apple made some mistakes with Wolfs movie director Jon Watts. As he has stated the reasons why he has become angry with those from Cupertino, in addition to mentioning that there will not be a sequel
Apple had in its hands the possibility of releasing one of the best sequels in the short history of Apple TV+ and has ruined it. According to statements obtained by Deadline, the director of Wolfs, Jon Watts has become upset with Apple to the point of no longer trusting him as a creative partner. There are several justified reasons, the most important being that Apple decided to have a limited release in theaters and give priority to streaminga last-minute decision that was not discussed with the director.
One of the best movies on Apple TV+ will be left without a sequel
Another of the Jon Watts’ arguments are that he requested not to mention the planned Wolfs movie sequel in the press release published on August 7, 2024. According to Apple’s head of feature films, Matt Dentler, they were “excited to see fans embrace the film” as the sequel began to be planned.
Wolfs was expected to be a cinematic bombshell considering its success at the Venice Film Festival. Wolfs is a film starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney. It is an action thriller that promises a dose of adrenaline and black humor.
A week after its premiere it had already positioned itself as number 1 on Apple TV+ and achieved records in views. There is no doubt that Apple has in its hands great film material that could last for a long time..
Did Apple make a serious mistake by taking these steps without its director?
According to Jon Watts’ statements, It was a week before the statement when he learned of the move from cinema to streaming that was authorized without his consent. After Apple saw the final version of Wolfs, they immediately commissioned Watts to write the sequel. After the move from cinema to streaming, he asked that no one know about the sequel, which was also announced and the director was totally ignored.

And so, I quietly returned the money they gave me for the sequel. I didn’t want to talk about it because I was proud of the film and didn’t want to generate any unnecessary negative press. I loved working with Brad and George (and the cast) and would happily do it again. But the truth is that Apple didn’t cancel the Wolfs sequel, I did because I no longer trusted them as a creative partner.
According to Deadline’s sources, Apple remains open to a sequel although it could be with another director. We do not know to what degree it would be possible. Consider that Brad Pitt is currently filming the F1 movie and that it is projected to be released in theaters with Warner Bros. and after the established time to arrive on Apple TV+. Jon Watts is known for being the director of the most recent Spiderman films in the Marvel universe.according to Deadline, he left this franchise to write the script for Wolfs and direct the film that today has an uncertain future.
