The Accountant 2 (2025)

The Accountant 2 is a 2025 American action‑thriller directed by Gavin O’Connor, written by Bill Dubuque, and starring Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai‑Robinson, Daniella Pineda, and J.K. Simmons. Christian Wolff (Affleck) is brought out of hiding by Treasury agent Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai‑Robinson) following the murder of Ray King (J.K. Simmons), the director of the Financial Crimes Bureau. King’s last message reads “find the accountant.” To solve the case, Wolff enlists his estranged brother Braxton (“Brax,” played by Jon Bernthal). Together, they uncover a dangerous conspiracy, putting their lives at risk.👥 Cast & Behind the Scenes Returning: Ben Affleck (Christian Wolff), Jon Bernthal (Brax), Cynthia Addai‑Robinson, J.K. Simmons New additions: Daniella Pineda, Allison Robertson, Grant Harvey. Director Gavin O’Connor and writer Bill Dubuque return from the original film. Affleck also co-produces alongside Lynette Howell Taylor and Mark Williams. Action sequences focus on gritty realism and grounded choreography, contrasting with comic-book‑style fights in superhero films; Affleck and Bernthal emphasized this shift in interviews.📊 Critics & Box Office Worldwide, The Accountant 2 has earned approximately $103.2 million, with $65.5 million from domestic (U.S. & Canada) markets and $37.7 million internationally.
