Jon Watts, who had once stepped out of the Spider-Man franchise with Tom Holland and Zendaya to script and direct George Clooney and Brad Pitt in the film Wolfs for Apple, has confimed that they would not be doing a sequel. This is even though Wolfs became the most-viewed feature film ever released on Apple TV+. Why will Wolfs not have a sequel? In his statement to Variety, Jon Watts revealed what actually happened and why its release was the point of contention between him and Apple TV.
"I showed Apple my final cut of Wolfs early this year. They were extremely enthusiastic about it and immediately commissioned me to start writing a sequel. But their last-minute shift from a promised wide theatrical release to a streaming release was a total surprise and made without any explanation or discussion, ", said the director.

"I was completely shocked and asked them to please not include the news that I was writing a sequel. They ignored my request and announced it in their press release anyway, seemingly to create a positive spin to their streaming pivot.
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,", stated the director. Don't trust Apple as creative partner: Watts He, however, maintained that he loved working with the cast.
Watts said, "I loved working with Brad and George (and Amy and Austin and Poorna and Zlatko) 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."
