Check out The Accountant 2 trailer below (watch more trailers and clips):
“Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) has a talent for solving complex problems,” the official synopsis reads. “When an old acquaintance is murdered, leaving behind a cryptic message to ‘find the accountant,’ Wolff is compelled to solve the case. Realizing more extreme measures are necessary, Wolff recruits his estranged and highly lethal brother, Brax (Jon Bernthal), to help. In partnership with U.S. Treasury Deputy Director Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), they uncover a deadly conspiracy, becoming targets of a ruthless network of killers who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried.”
The script for the movie was written by Bill Dubuque. Affleck serves as a producer alongside Lynette Howell Taylor and Mark Williams.
In addition to Affleck, Bernthal, and Addai-Robinson, The Accountant 2 will see J. K. Simmons reprise his role as Ray King. The cast also includes Daniella Pineda and Allison Robertson.
“It was very important to me to make an exuberant, entertaining movie,” O’Connor told Vanity Fair about the movie. “I wanted to make an emotional film and also not just an action movie, which I would find wildly boring and uninteresting. An action movie that dealt with human connection and love was something that I really wanted to explore.”
Affleck also said of getting to work with Bernthal again, “I love Jon so much as an actor and as a guy. I have a real fondness that I thought would translate easily into this sort of brother relationship.”
The Accountant 2 will be released exclusively in theaters on April 25, 2025, from Amazon MGM Studios through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
