Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal are back as Christian and Brax in the upcoming sequel, The Accountant 2. Watch the first trailer here.
Back in 2016, The Accountant hit movie screens and surprised us all. What many expected to be a typical thriller surprised everyone with its depth. Ben Affleck took on the lead role of Christian Wolff, an autistic accountant who launders money for some of the world’s most dangerous criminals. When hitmen come after him, he shifts from a mild-mannered individual to a fierce killer. One of the biggest surprises in the film comes from the character Brax, played by Jon Bernthal. Initially, the audience believes he is the main villain, but it is revealed that he is actually Christian’s brother, who assists him during the film’s climactic moments. Although receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film was a success, grossing $155. 2 million against a $44 million budget.
Now, nine years later, we are getting a sequel. The Accountant 2 is due for release on April 25th. Once again, Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal return to play Christian and Brax. They are rejoined by J. K. Simmons and Cynthia Addai-Robinson, who also reprise their roles from the first film as Ray King and Marybeth Medina, respectively. Daniella Pineda is one of a number of new actors to join the cast for the sequel. Amazon MGM Studios will release the film in the United States through Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, while Warner Bros will distribute it internationally. The first trailer for the film has already been released. Start adding up those numbers again as we take our first look.
PREMISE
When unknown assassins kill someone close to her, Treasury Agent Marybeth Medina urgently contacts Christian Wolff to help solve the murder. With the help of his estranged but highly lethal brother Brax, Chris applies his brilliant mind and less-than-legal methods to piece together the unsolved puzzle. As they get closer to the truth, the trio draw the attention of some of the most ruthless killers alive — all intent on putting a stop to their search.
