Brad Pitt and George Clooney are set to star in Wolfs, an upcoming movie that will be released in 2024, and it might be just what the actors need to break both of their recent disappointing Rotten Tomatoes streaks. The action comedy film, directed and written by Jon Watts of the MCU’s Spider-Man fame, chronicles two professional “fixers,” played by Pitt and Clooney, who are both hired for the same job. Despite the initial tension between them, the two men (aka the two “lone wolves,” hence the movie’s title) are forced to work together.

Pitt and Clooney reunite in the Wolfs trailer 16 years after their last film, Burn After Reading, a 2008 critically acclaimed black comedy. However, the two actors are undoubtedly most known for costarring in the Ocean’s movie series, including Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve, and Ocean’s Thirteen, with Clooney as Danny Ocean and Pitt as Rusty Ryan. Consequently, their reunion in Wolfs is highly anticipated, meaning it has the ability to turn the tides for both Pitt and Clooney.

Brad Pitt & George Clooney Have Both Had Consecutive “Rotten” Movies

The Actors’ Previous 2 (Respective) Films Have Been Poorly Received

Brad Pitt’s previous movies (that he has starred in) — Bullet Train and Babylon — and George Clooney’s last two films (that he has appeared in) — The Midnight Sky and Ticket to Paradise — have all received “Rotten” Tomatometer scores on Rotten Tomatoes. Both have produced (and in Clooney’s case, directed) other projects since the four aforementioned movies premiered. However, the ones Pitt and Clooney have acting roles in have been duds, according to the review aggregation website.

Why Wolfs Can Fix Brad Pitt & George Clooney’s Rotten Tomatoes Streak

Wolfs Is Produced By Brad Pitt & George Clooney

Brad Pitt and George Clooney’s unfortunate Rotten Tomatoes streak might be broken by the end of 2024, thanks to Wolfs. Of course, the two actors have a track record of making critically acclaimed films together. But the action comedy’s trailer also teases an intriguing story (that seemingly appeals to critics), high-stakes action, great performances, and more. Clooney and Pitt’s new movie is especially exciting after Jon Watts’ $3.9 billion Spider-Man franchise, showing how talented and successful Watts is and how his experience (combined with Pitt’s and Clooney’s) will likely help WolfsRotten Tomatoes score.
