Warning: Spoilers ahead for Apple TV+‘sWolfsmovie.Apple TV+‘sWolfsintroduces the nameless characters of George Clooney and Brad Pitt, and while the movie focuses only on the two actors’ Fixers, one theory suggests others in their line of work can be spotted. Led by two Hollywood legends, theWolfscastis small but effective. The limited number of actors in the limelight brilliantly accentuates the lonely life of a Fixer. However, despite the unpleasant tasks they have to undertake on a regular basis,the movie may quietly reveal other Fixerswho do the same job as Clooney and Pitt’s characters.
AlthoughWolfs’ endingimplies both main characters are set for a fatal encounter, the early announcement of a sequel strongly suggests they find a way to survive. There are severalways Clooney and Pitt could return forWolfs 2, but until the follow-up is made, how they make it out alive will remain a mystery.There are other unanswered questions when it comes to the world ofWolfs, but some can be resolved by analyzing the context clues in the 2024 movie.
Wolfs Theory: Three Other Fixers Are Seen On A Cleaning Job Before Clooney & Pitt Near The Hotel
2 of the potential Fixers can even be seen working together
When George Clooney’s character is en route to the cleaning job near the beginning ofWolfs, a long and sliding shot reveals three men hard at work in the background. Although their tasks may seem innocuous, it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that they are using their actions to disguise the fact they too are disposing of bodies.Two of the potential Fixers can be seen dissecting something with a table saw, while the third is seen on his own - wheeling out a container from the back of a building.
The other potential Fixers can be spotted inWolfsbetween 7:26-7:50.
The three maybe-Fixers all appear to have their own techniques, which is consistent with the movie’s two main characters and the pride they take in their respective creativity when it comes to getting rid of corpses. For instance, Clooney’s character demonstrates an intricate pulley system that involves a hotel luggage cart and strongly suggests his Fixer has used this technique before. When he boldly wheels the body outside,seeing the other potential Fixers operating in clear view of everyone doesn’t seem so shocking.
Wolfs' Additional Fixers Theory Suggests Clooney & Pitt Isn’t The Movie’s First Fixer Team-Up
The movie’s main Fixer duo may not be so groundbreaking after all
The movie’s two main Fixers explain to the Kid that the job requires isolation to maintain the trust of a client. Therefore, the collaboration that’s shown between the two men is implied to be an incredibly rare - if not unique - occurrence. Their initial refusal to join forces and their ongoing resistance throughout the movie backs this up. That being said, if the two characters using the table saw at the start ofWolfsare also Fixers, thentheir team-up predates that of Clooney and Pitt, meaning their working relationship isn’t that original.
Pitt’s Fixer: When you hire someone to do what we do, you want someone who works alone.
Clooney’s Fixer: No connections. No conflicting loyalties. It’s the only way you can be trusted, is to trust no one.
Pitt’s Fixer: But in that building back there is a very scary, very violent man, who it turns out we have both worked for in the past.
Clooney’s Fixer: And if he saw us together…
Pitt’s Fixer: If he even suspected I knew what he knew…
Clooney’s Fixer: And I knew what he knew…
Clooney’s Fixer: Or he’d kill us himself.
The Kid: So, you’re secret partners?
Clooney & Pitt: We’re not secret partners!
Although operating in tandem is proven to come with risks, the movie’s two main characters discover that there are also benefits to working in this way. Going forward,it’s almost a given that they’ll continue to be impromptu colleagues inWolfs 2and potentially beyond. The other speculative two-piece with the table saw may have discovered this upside to working together long before the movie began. If so, they could have been doing so for a long while in secret, while obviously hiding the fact from their employers.
Wolfs' Other Fixers Would Set Up A Great Story For Wolfs 2
Wolfs 2 can expand further on its Fixer lore
Fixers by necessity need to operate in the shadows and with as few people around as possible. This makes their preference/requirement to work alone very understandable.Wolfsintroduces several pieces of worldbuilding about how a Fixer should conduct themselvesas well as other compelling additions to the lore that’s more outwardly delivered. The end result is an intentionally incomplete picture of how the underground society of Fixers interacts - or, more accurately, avoids each other.
Wolfs’ Ending May Have Secretly Revealed The Kid’s Real Name
Apple TV+’s Wolfs chooses not to name a few of its characters, but it may have hinted at the Kid’s name in an important scene at the end.
If the three figures shown at the beginning ofWolfsare indeed Fixers, then it shows a willingness for the second movie to address the presence of other characters who do the same thing as both leading men. If Clooney and Pitt are both being cleaned, then it’s possible that other Fixers could risk suffering the same fate. If so,it’s in all the Fixers' best interest to gather togetherand give themselves the best possible chance of survival. This would go against the Fixer ethos established inWolfs, but also serve as an extension of what’s already happened.
