After Ben Affleck Joins Netflix Thriller, The Accountant 2 Clarifies
Introducing a new Ben Affleck thriller clarifies The Accountant 2. In 2016's The Accountant, Affleck plays Christian Wolff, an accountant who helps criminal organizations clean up their books.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
After the Anna Kendrick and J.K. Simmons film's box office success, a sequel has been in development for years. Deadline says The Accountant 2 will shoot in the second half of 2024.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Accountant's sequel, scheduled for later this year, isn't expected to be affected by Affleck's new Netflix crime thriller Animals, starring Matt Damon.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Accountant 2 may release late 2025 if it shoots later this year. Limited information has been released.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
O'Connor and Bill Dubuque were expected to return as director and screenwriter this month. Otherwise, Kendrick, Simmons, and Bernthal may not return from The Accountant.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Kendrick, Simmons, and Bernthal survive the credits in The Accountant, allowing their return. With only Affleck's Wolff returning, the sequel may change course.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Wolff's new mission and clients may be a fresh start after the first movie. Over $155 million was made from the $44 million beginning.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━
After $20 million to $30 million, The Accountant 2 may have a $75 million budget like John Wick: Chapter 2. Since filming begins later this year, The Accountant 2 details may be revealed soon.
