Who Are the Not-So-Lone Wolves in 'Wolfs'?

Hollywood leading men George Clooney and Brad Pitt are teaming up as rival-slash-reluctant accomplices in Apple TV+’s Wolfs. This marks their first collaboration since the 2008 film Burn After Reading reuniting them after 16 years. Having previously portrayed Danny Ocean and Rusty Ryan in Ocean’s Eleven, the duo is no stranger to the action-comedy genre. In Wolfs, Clooney plays a professional “fixer”, someone hired to cover up high-profile crimes, who clashes with Pitt’s character, a fellow fixer when they find themselves stuck on the same job - despite both preferring to work solo.
