The trailer for Ben Affleck's The Accountant 2, was released yesterday on social media. The film sees the return of Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal (The Punisher, The Wolf of Wall Street) as brothers Christian and Braxton Wolff. J K Simmons and Cynthia Addai-Robinson also reprise their roles from The Accountant.
The Accountant introduced Ben Affleck as the autistic genius Christian Wolff and Jon Bernthal as his brother Braxton. They are the sons of a military officer who refuses to treat Christian's autism the conventional way and instead trains both brothers through his methods. As an adult, Christian is a forensic accountant for criminal organisations, and the film shows him uncovering the truth about a company he audits and the events that follow.
The trailer for The Accountant 2 opens with Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) getting ready to meet someone. Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) seeks out Christian to help her solve the death of an old acquaintance, and Christian recruits his brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal) to help him. J K Simmons returns as Ray King, the US Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network director.
Gavin O'Connor and Bill Dubuque return as the director and writer for the film, which Amazon MGM Studios produces. It is set to premiere at the South By Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival on March 8, 2025. The film is set to release theatrically on April 25, 2025.
