Wolfs cast

The headliners of the Wolfs cast are of course Clooney and Pitt. The Oscar-winners (Syriana for Clooney, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for Pitt) are two of the most iconic movie stars of recent memory, though is the first time that they are physically appearing in starring roles in a movie since 2022; they both are credited as voice actors in the 2024 movie IF. This also marks the first time that we'll see them together, in the flesh, on screen since 2008's Burn After Reading.

But Clooney and Pitt are not alone in the movie. Other members of the Wolfs cast includes Amy Ryan (Sugar, Only Murders in the Building), Austin Abrams (Euphoria, Do Revenge) and Poorna Jagannathan (Never Have I Ever, The Night Of).

Wolfs plot

With a script written by Jon Watts, here is the official synopsis for Wolfs:

"Global superstars George Clooney and Brad Pitt team up for the action comedy Wolfs. Clooney plays a professional fixer hired to cover up a high profile crime. But when a second fixer (Pitt) shows up and the two 'lone wolves' are forced to work together, they find their night spiraling out of control in ways that neither one of them expected."

While we wait to see how all of that plays out in Wolfs, we know that the story is going to continue, as Apple has already greenlit a sequel to the movie.
