Believe it or not, Ben Affleck hasn’t been involved in any direct sequels throughout his career. While he has reprised roles in various films, none of them can be considered direct sequels to his previous work. However, for the first time in his 41-year career, the actor will be starring in a direct sequel to The Accountant called The Accountant 2. This marks a potentially record-breaking or perhaps a record-setting moment in Hollywood.

The sequel to The Accountant, starring Ben Affleck, will feature a bigger role for Jon Bernthal's character, Braxton. The original movie, while successful, had mixed reviews due to clunky storytelling, so The Accountant 2 will hopefully improve on it in several key areas. Ben Affleck's return as Christian Wolff in The Accountant 2 provides hope for a box office win after some recent box office disappointments, like The Flash or Hypnotic.
The belated Ben Affleck sequel The Accountant 2 has just gotten way more exciting thanks to a recent casting update. Affleck had an enviable run of hits during the 2010s, both as a director and actor. He starred in and helmed both 2010's The Town and Argo, with the latter winning Best Picture at the Academy Awards. During this period, he received praise for his performance in David Fincher's Gone Girl and was cast as Batman in the Dceu.

Ben Affleck and director Gavin O’Connor are set to reteam in thriller sequel The Accountant 2, which will reportedly start filming in the spring.
Don’t worry if you completely forgot about 2016 action thriller The Accountant – director Gavin O’Connor and star Ben Affleck haven’t. According to World Of Reel, the long-in-gestation sequel is set to go into production in March, with its release currently pencilled in for the following spring.
The last time we heard any news about The Accountant 2 was in September 2021 – back then, O’Connor was talking about the potential for turning the whole thing into a trilogy. It isn’t currently clear whether a third movie will happen, though O’Connor has previously said “I’ve always wanted to do three.”

Ben Affleck's potential replacement for Batman lies in the possibility of a new action franchise, such as "The Accountant 2." "The Accountant" offers a unique character in Christian Wolff, played by Affleck, and has the potential to become an established action series. Despite the success of "The Accountant," getting approval for a sequel has been challenging, but ultimately, it presents Affleck's best opportunity to create a new action franchise.
An underrated 2016 action movie offers Ben Affleck the perfect chance to create a new franchise after Batman. Zack Snyder's DC had its fans, but with James Gunn taking over the cinematic universe, times are changing, and Ben Affleck's days as Batman are behind him. Despite making multiple appearances as Bruce Wayne, Affleck never had his own solo Batman movie, and his time as the Caped Crusader could have gone better.

Gavin O’Connor’s The Accountant brought Ben Affleck in a different kind of action role. The film ended its run with a worldwide total of $155 million and a sequel was announced, but struggled to gain traction. The Accountant starred Ben Affleck as Christian Wolff, a mathematical savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Behind the cover of a small-town Cpa office, he works as a freelance accountant for some of the world’s most dangerous criminal organizations. The film sported an impressive cast that included Jon Bernthal, John Lithgow, J.K. Simmons, Anna Kendrick and Jeffrey Tambor.
Industry insider Daniel Richtman has confirmed that The Accountant 2 is now a go with Amazon producing the film. Gavin O’Connor will return to direct with Ben Affleck reprising his role. Back in 2021, O’Connor appeared on the CinemaBlend podcast where he revealed that he had just closed the deal for the sequel.

Sitcoms are among some of the most beloved TV shows ever made. Unlike respected premium drama series like "The Wire," "Breaking Bad," or "True Detective," which regularly top lists of the greatest TV shows ever made, shows like "Friends," "Seinfeld," "Cheers," and "The Office" are beloved in a way that feels a lot more personal. Sitcoms are feel-good experiences, even when they're shows about nothing, and are the exact opposite of David Fincher's intense thrillers.
Which is why I can't shake the feeling that the auteur is making fun of himself with his latest effort. As /Film's Chris Evangelista wrote in his review of "The Killer," "I'm not saying Fincher is on the same level as a cold-blooded killer, but he clearly sees a lot of himself (and his approach to his work) in his latest protagonist." But if the director was trying to draw this parallel between the...

"The Accountant" was a surprise hit due to Ben Affleck's strong performance and a twist ending that elevated the movie above typical action fare. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the film exceeded expectations at the box office, grossing over $150 million. The use of famous paintings in the film symbolized larger themes, such as the unpredictable world Christian tries to fix and his severed relationship with his mother. Additionally, the identity of the mysterious assassin turned out to be Christian's estranged brother, adding another twist to the story.

3 paintings feature prominently in the 2016 action-thriller The Accountant, and each of them has a different meaning. Starring Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, and J.K. Simmons, the Gavin O'Connor-directed film follows Affleck's Christian Wolff, a soft-spoken man who spends his time vacillating between being an accountant and a dangerous assassin, for which he's compensated handsomely. For services rendered, Wolff accepts cash as well as fine art, and three separate paintings are given prominence; Pierre-Auguste Renoir's Woman with a Parasol and Small Child on a Sunlit Hillside, Jackson Pollock's Free Form, and Cassius Coolidge's A Friend in Need.
While Affleck's Air bombed at the box office when it was expected to do well, The Accountant was a sleeper success, perhaps because of its unexpected pairing of John Wick gun-fu with art caper intrigue, and a thought-provoking subplot about mental health due to Wolff's high-functioning autism.

"The Accountant," a wildly silly movie that's also surprisingly fun, is getting a sequel. This isn't exactly new news – the sequel was first announced back in 2017. However, last year we got word that the sequel might not actually happen, but a TV show spin-off was a possibility. Now, it looks like the sequel is happening after all! During a recent podcast appearance, "Accountant" director Gavin O'Connor revealed the deal for the sequel was just finalized, and that stars Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal were both likely to return.

A sequel to the 2016 action film “The Accountant” starring Ben Affleck is in development at Warner Bros., with director Gavin O’Connor returning to the project, an individual with knowledge told TheWrap.
Deals for O’Connor, writer Bill Dubuque and the film’s producers are in place, but the individual says no deals have been set for talent, including Affleck or Jon Bernthal.
O’Connor recently said on the Cinema Blend podcast that he “literally just closed that deal” for a sequel to “The Accountant.”
“The Accountant” grossed $155.1 million worldwide on a $44 million budget. Affleck starred as a quiet and reclusive math savant named Christian Wolff, who behind the scenes, while working as a small-town Cpa, is secretly a freelance accountant for dangerous criminal organizations.

Ben Affleck and director Gavin O’Connor’s action-thriller The Accountant was such a great movie! Shortly after it was released, there was talk of a sequel, and I’ve been wondering if there has actually been any movement on that. I’d like to see the story of Affleck’s character, Christian Wolff, explored more.
While there hasn’t been much movement on a sequel, Affleck is still interested in pursuing it. While talking to Collider, the actor was asked about the project and this is what he said:
“Yeah, I hope so. I would love to. We’ve talked about kicking some ideas around, this last movie we just did. We talked to the studio and they seemed interested, and they kind of brought it up so, we’re looking to do that. I think it would be fun. I love Gavin, I love the movie I just did with him.

Now that Die Hard is officially a Christmas movie, pop star John Mayer is claiming that The Accountant is actually a Batman movie that tells Bruce Wayne's origin story. On the surface, The Accountant and Batman only share one thing, which is actor Ben Affleck. But, Mayer was able to unearth some pretty convincing evidence to back up his theory and many of his followers on social media are standing in his corner, trying to spread the truth about The Accountant and Batman. Has John Mayer cracked some kind of Hollywood code?
Ben Affleck portrays a math savant in The Accountant who is hired to uncook the books for a new client as the Treasury Department closes in on his activities. It becomes violent as Affleck's Christian Wolff uses some heavy guns to defend himself and attack others, which isn't outside of Batman's wheelhouse based on his controversial Batman v Superman stance on killing.

Of all the movies that might inspire a sequel, a thriller about a math savant would probably not have been near the top of the list. Yet a sequel to The Accountant is indeed on its way, according to Deadline. Why? The original was a very good drama. Ben Affleck starred as math savant Christian Wolff, who is a successful, if very low-key, accountant. In a twist that's revealed very early in the story, however, he's identified by a Treasury Department official (J.R. Simmons) as an accountant for very dangerous criminals. He's also shown to be quite accurate as a long-distance marksman. Hmm, could that mean he is himself a lethal weapon? From there, the movie gallops along as Christian takes on a new job that introduces new dangers into his life, as well as a fellow...
