‘The Accountant 2’ A Go at Amazon

Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, J.K. Simmons, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson are set to star in The Accountant 2, the sequel to 2016’s The Accountant. Ben Affleck’s production company, Artists Equity, acquired the sequel rights from Warner Bros. and brought the movie to Amazon MGM Studios, who will now distribute the film.

Gavin O’Connor, who helmed the 2016 original, is returning to direct, with a script written by Bill Dubuque. Affleck, Matt Damon, Lynette Howell Taylor, and Mark Williams will produce, alongside Dani Bernfeld, Kevin Halloran, Michael Joe, Alison Winter, Scott Lastaiti and Jamie Patricof, who will serve as executive producers.

Here is the film’s plot synopsis:

“When her former boss is killed by unknown assassins, Treasury Agent Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) is forced to contact Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) to solve the murder. With the help of his estranged but highly lethal brother Brax (Jon Bernthal), 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.”
