The action thriller was, however, a hit in streaming on Apple TV+.
Lapel for George Clooney And Brad Pitt. Wolfs 2 has lead in his wing. Three months after Apple signed a deal with the director Jon Watts to develop a sequel, the streaming platform has decided to put a stop to the project, Variety announcement.
Nothing is official yet, but already, in Collider, the filmmaker explained while promoting his new series Star Wars: Skeleton Crew : “I don't know what I'm going to direct next, and I don't think there will be a sequel to Wolfs“. Variety was able to confirm immediately that the idea of a Wolfs 2 was thus abandoned.
Surprising since according to the latest news, Wolfs had become Apple's biggest success for a film.
But the cost of $200 million in production is perhaps difficult to justify today. Last August, while the first feedback was far from enthusiastic, Apple decided to reconsider the theatrical release of the film in the United States, while the streamer had joined forces with Sony as distributor. Instead, Wolfs only had a very limited release a few days before the worldwide streaming release on Apple TV+ on September 27.
