Really?
A film from a major studio (Apple TV), with two established stars, and the title is a misspelling of wolves. As Victor Meldrew was fond of saying: "I don't believe it".
I'm not sure I can bring myself to watch a movie with such a glaring grammar fail.

@fitheach I think it signifies that they're two lone alpha male types, brought together unwillingly to solve some problem. That's what the trailer suggests, anyway. If they'd used the title "Wolves", that would be referring to a pack. "Wolfs" is kind of the opposite to that.

@garry
Your synopsis is entirely correct, and that may well have been the film producer's thinking.However, in English, anything with two or more is a plural. The plural of wolf is wolves. no getting away from that.

@fitheach Ah, but this isn't English. It's American.
