  • "Frank Sinatra was an iconic entertainer in the past! A truly American figure who is widely revered!

That means something! A super unique insight. That a big part of the film and an idea the directors want you to discover. They don't give any real answers about who The Kid is.

Is it a hint or something they are planning on giving to viewers with a sequel.

If you've seen "Wolfs", you might ask yourself the same question as many fans, especially with these other incredible, intriguing details.

  • One answer is a possible suggestion, is that The Kid is in such a state that his mind is a little shaky after the intense things that have happened!
  • He might have even forgotten his own name
  • This symbol is more than a suggestion but actually a symbolic reflection of what it means to really come to terms with what's going on in life, especially as a youth

Perhaps, what the writers and directors wanted was to use a symbol and take audiences through this "Wolfs" universe, but they didn't want a full answer.

While Wolfs doesn't necessarily have to get The Kid's true identity out! There is so much to think about! It really is an exciting action thriller and something that will have fans coming back! While we await those next chapters from "Wolfs", it will leave us all pondering!
