The Accountant 2 Update Offered By Producer

screenrant.com:

Producer Mark Williams offers an Accountant 2 update, confirming that it is currently being written and expressed his excitement for it. The original action-thriller centered on Christian Wolff, a certified public accountant living with high-functioning autism who lives a double life by uncooking the books of criminal and terrorist organizations suffering from embezzlement. When his latest above-the-board job auditing a robotics firm turns him on to a tangled web of corruption that could expose his illegal activities, Chris must get to the heart of the mystery before it's too late.

Ben Affleck led the cast of The Accountant alongside Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Jeffrey Tambor and John Lithgow. Hitting theaters in late 2016, the Gavin O'Connor-helmed film was a modest hit for Warner Bros., grossing over $155 million against its $44 million budget and receiving mixed reviews from critics, with Affleck's performance and action sequences seeing largely positive reception. Thanks to this success, development on The Accountant 2 was announced to be in the works the following summer, though while word has largely gone quiet in the time since, those eager to see the sequel get off the ground may have exciting news coming their way in the near future.
