The highly anticipated sequel, ‘The Accountant 2’, is set to hit theaters on April 25, 2025. Directed by Gavin O’Connor, the film reunites audiences with Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck), an autistic mathematics savant who becomes involved in solving a complex murder. When an old acquaintance is murdered, leaving behind a cryptic message to “find the accountant,” Wolff is compelled to solve the case. Realizing more extreme measures are necessary, Wolff recruits his estranged and highly lethal brother, Brax (Jon Bernthal), to help. In partnership with U.S. Treasury Deputy Director Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), they uncover a deadly conspiracy, becoming targets of a ruthless network of killers who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried.
