The success of ‘The Accountant’ prompted the launch of a sequel to the action movie starring Ben Affleck. Five years have passed since the announcement that we would see ‘The accountant 2’ and we are still waiting, but sometimes there are projects that take a little longer to get ahead.
In fact, Gavin O’Connor, director of the first installment, revealed in September last year that the contracts to make it a reality had not been signed until then. Now it’s time to review everything we know so far about ‘The accountant 2’information that will be updated as soon as we have more news about the film.
The history
At the moment the exact story of ‘The Accountant 2’ is unknown, but O’Connor has made it clear that the sequel will give much more importance to Braxton, the character of the brother of the protagonist of the first installment. There his presence was quite small, so it is logical that they want to take advantage of it.
When is ‘The Accountant 2’ released in theaters?
Unfortunately, Warner has not yet announced the release date of ‘The Accountant 2’. Everything points to the fact that they are now trying to balance the agendas of all those involved and that it will not be until then when both the shooting date and the theatrical release date are decided.
Cast and protagonists
Ben Affleck will reprise the role of Christian Wolff, a peculiar accountant with autism who ends up being much more than he appears to the naked eye. ‘The Accountant 2’ will be the third collaboration of the author of ‘Argo’ with O’Connor, since he also worked under him in ‘The Way Back’, where he offered one of the best performances of his career .
It is also necessary to return Jon Bernthal as Braxton Wolff. Much in demand since his brief stint on ‘The Walking Dead’, the actor has also recently starred in the television adaptation of ‘American Gigolo’.
It remains up in the air if we will see in ‘The accountant 2’ any other actor who participated in the first installment. For example, the ending invited us to think that the plot arc of the character of Anna Kendrickbut it also opened the door at least for Alison Wright repeat as Justine.
Director
Gavin O’Connor will once again take care of the staging of this sequel, the first of his entire career. Previously he also signed titles such as ‘The miracle’, ‘Question of honor’ or ‘Warrior’, in my opinion his best film by far. Before ‘The Accountant 2’ is likely to deal with ‘fast’an action thriller written by Taylor Sheridan (‘WindRiver’).
The future of the series
There is nothing confirmed about it, but something that O’Connor wanted to make clear is that his plan for the franchise is to have three installments. He has not exactly specified the reason, but if ‘The Accountant 2’ is also successful, it is most likely that things will not stop there.
