Cited as one of the most influential figures in Hollywood, William Bradley “Brad” Pitt made his first prominent mark in the role of a cowboy hitchhiker in ‘Thelma & Louise,’ which led him to roles in ‘A River Runs Through It’ and ‘Legends of the Fall.’ He earned his first Academy Award nomination for his performance as Jeffrey Goines in ‘12 Monkeys.’ Since then, Pitt showcased his compelling onscreen presence and versatile acting prowess by featuring in projects of different genres, including David Fincher’s crime film ‘Seven,’ the romantic crime film ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith,’ the historical drama ‘Troy,’ the heist film ‘Ocean’s Eleven,’ and the action thriller ‘Bullet Train,’ to name a few.
Pitt received Academy Award nominations for his brilliant performances in ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ and ‘Moneyball’ but he finally got his hands on an Oscar as an actor when he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of a stuntman in Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.’ Given his stature and successful career, Pitt has left our readers wondering what to expect from him after his role as Jack Conrad in ‘Babylon.’
1. Wolfs (TBA)
Brad Pitt will reunite with George Clooney as both of them are set to star in Apple TV+’s ‘Wolfs,’ a thriller movie written and directed by Jon Watts.

Apart from featuring as one of the unnamed leads, Pitt is also involved in the project as one of the producers. The film also stars Amy Ryan, Austin Abrams, and Poorna Jagannathan. The film is expected to be released on September 20, 2024.
2. Untitled Formula One Racing Movie (TBA)
Pitt is set to star in yet another Apple TV+ sports movie, which is about Sonny Hayes, a Formula One driver who used to race in the 1990s. Hayes gets into a horrible accident during one of his races, forcing him to retire from Formula One. However, one of his friends, who is also a Formula One team owner, gets in touch with him and requests him to get back on the tracks and serve as a mentor to a rookie prodigy named Joshua Pearce on the Apex Grand Prix team. Pitt plays the veteran Hayes while ‘Snowfall’ fame Damson Idris plays Pearce. Pitt is attached to the project as one of the producers as well.
The movie is helmed by ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ fame Joseph Kosinski. Also starring Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Lewis Hamilton, the action film’s production was halted due to the SAG-AFRTA strike almost as soon as it went into production in July 2023. It is currently in its filming stage with no reports of release yet.
3. The Movie Critic (TBA)
Brad Pitt will star in Quentin Tarantino’s final film ‘The Movie Critic’ which will be set in 1970s Los Angeles and centers on a film critic who wrote movie reviews for a fictional porno rag called ‘The Popstar Pages.’ Tarantino was inspired by his own experiences as a teen when he put porn magazines inside a vending machine in return for quarters from the cash dispenser. In some of these magazines, he came across the movie critic whom he found interesting. We do not know whether Brad will play the titular role. Paul Walter Hauser is also rumored to be in the film. Tarantino will be both writing and directing. The earlier works of the director-actor duo are ‘Inglourious Basterds’ (2009) and ‘Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood’ (2019). ‘The Movie Critic’ is currently in its pre-production stages and is unlikely to arrive before 2025.
