Earlier this week, the internet was abuzz with excitement as we got our first proper look at the return of Ben Affleck's autistic hitman Christian Wolff in The Accountant 2. And now, having had our appetite for more digit-based danger whetted by the sight of Affleck and on-screen brother Jon Bernthal being reunited in Gavin O'Connor's long-gestating sequel, today Amazon and Warner Bros. dropped the real payload — the first full trailer for the upcoming financial thriller.

It's been almost a decade since The Accountant first introduced the world to Ben Affleck's autistic hitman Christian Wolff. A modest success when it came out in 2016, Gavin O'Connor's financial thriller has enjoyed a renaissance on streaming in the years since its release, with the exploits of the calculated, calculating killer winning the movie a loyal fanbase — and a full-blown sequel. Yes, 2025 is set to see The Accountant 2 hit our screens, with O'Connor back in the director's chair, Bill Dubuque once again handling the script, and Affleck returning alongside on-screen brother Brax (Jon Bernthal), U.S. Treasury investigator Ray King (J.K. Simmons), and Treasury Deputy Director Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson).

Ahead of SXSW next month, Amazon MGM Studios have released the official trailer for The Accountant 2, offering a first look at the return of 2x Academy Award-winner and former Batman actor Ben Affleck (Justice League; Argo; The Town) as the titular accountant and the Punisher himself Jon Bernthal (The Punisher; Daredevil: Born Again; The Wolf of Wall Street) as his equally lethal brother.

The film's synopsis reads, "Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) has a talent for solving complex problems. 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.

In the official trailer for Gavin O’Connor and Bill Dubuque’s The Accountant 2, Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) turns to a smart speaker to break down the difference between dressy casual and business casual. It helps him decide not to wear the black suit the system tells him makes him look like a mortician. But when the stakes get a bit higher after someone he once knew gets murdered, Christian can’t turn to Siri or Alexa. Instead, he goes to his killing machine brother, Brax (Jon Bernthal).

Together, Christian...

The Accountant 2 trailer has arrived.

Gavin O’Connor returned to direct the sequel to his original 2016 film, which starred Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal and Cynthia Addai-Robinson among others like John Lithgow and Jean Smart. Bill Dubuque also returned to pen the followup as he did the script for The Accountant.

Simmons, Addai-Robinson and Bernthal will reprise their roles of Ray King, Marybeth Medina and Brax, respectively alongside Affleck’s return as Christian Wolff.

The film will hit theaters April 25, 2025, following Addai-Robinson’s Agent Medina as she has no choice but to reach out to Affleck’s Wolff to solve the mysterious murder of her former boss by unknown assassins. Bernthal’s estranged and highly lethal brother Brax will also get in on the action.

Daniella Pineda, Allison Robertson, Robert Morgan and Grant Harvey round out the ensemble cast of the pic.

Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal are back in The Accountant 2, a sequel fans have been waiting for. The new film picks up with Christian Wolff (Affleck), the autistic accountant known for digging into financial crimes.

This time, he’s tasked with solving a murder case, and he’s going to need help from his estranged brother Brax (Bernthal), who he hasn’t been in contact with since the first movie.

The sequel has been a long time coming, with The Accountant 2 facing a tough eight-year development period. Director Gavin O’Connor has said the process was frustrating, calling it like a flower that was always ready to bloom, but kept getting stopped and restarted.

However, O’Connor is back behind the camera for this new chapter, which continues the story written by Bill Dubuque, who also worked on Ozark.

This time, O’Connor wants to balance action with deeper emotional connections.

Amazon MGM Studios has revealed the official trailer and poster for The Accountant 2, which will have its World Premiere at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival on March 8.

Directed by Gavin O’Connor, the sequel will open in theaters on April 25.

Ben Affleck is back to his extremely particular ways in the action-packed first trailer for “The Accountant 2.” The sequel finds Affleck reprising the role of an autistic numbers whiz, this time teaming up with his brother (played by Jon Bernthal) to investigate the murder of his friend — J.K. Simmons returning for a brief stint.

The same filmmaking team that made the 2016 film a hit is back for the sequel: Gavin O’Connor directs from a screenplay by Bill Dubuque, although Anna Kendrick is nowhere to be seen in this first trailer. Instead, Affleck’s character is working alongside a federal agent played by Cynthia Addai-Robinson.

The first film was made by Warner Bros. and grossed $155 million against a $44 million budget, but grew in stature over the years. Affleck said he was spurred to make a sequel given how many people would come up to him and want to ask about “The Accountant.

The estranged brotherly duo of Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal is back for “The Accountant 2.”

Ahead of the film’s worldwide premiere at this year’s South by Southwest Film & Television Festival on March 8, “The Accountant 2” has released an official trailer, showing Christian Wolff (Affleck) back in action as the autistic accountant who works to uncook the books. In this new film, he is recruited to help solve a murder case by a treasury agent (Cynthia Addai-Robinson). In order to get to the bottom of the matter, the emotionally distant Christian must reconnect with his brother, Brax (Bernthal), after the events of the first film.

The first film brought in $155 million worldwide for Warner Bros on a budget of $44 million. But despite the mid-budget success of the first film, Vanity Fair reported that “The Accountant 2” was stuck in development for eight years, the process of which director Gavin O’Connor described as “brutal.

Can Christian Wolff find a former associate’s killer? The character is back to face foes and family alike in “The Accountant 2.” This Amazon MGM Studios film sees Wolff in danger after others discover a unique message. He’s not alone this time, opting for the deadly talents of his estranged brother Brax and the partnership of U.S. Treasury Deputy Director Marybeth Medina. Gavin O’Connor returns to direct this second outing from a screenplay by “The Accountant” screenwriter Bill Dubuque.

Ben Affleck's 2016 action thriller "The Accountant" has enjoyed a fair bit of a success as of late. In the spring of 2024, it became Netflix's number one movie as viewers tuned in to enjoy the Gavin O'Connor-directed film's star-studded cast and wonderfully silly action. The movie stars Affleck as Christian Wolff, a seemingly unassuming man who's on the autism spectrum. He works as an accountant for various criminal organizations and also happens to be a highly proficient combat expert, which comes in handy when he has to deal with a massive embezzlement situation. This kicks off a complex spider's web of a plot that features characters played by folks like J.K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal, Anna Kendrick, Jean Smart, and John Lithgow.

The streaming success of "The Accountant" is just part of its current cultural prevalence. Now, "The Accountant 2" is set to hit theaters this year after premiering...

Christian Wolff, Ben Affleck’s character from the 2016 action thriller The Accountant, will be making his long-awaited return to the big screen this year – and his comeback is going to be a violent one. The Motion Picture Association ratings board recently revealed that they’ve given The Accountant 2 an R rating for strong violence, and language throughout. That happens to be the same rating the first movie received, for the exact same reasons. Coming our way from Amazon MGM Studios, the film is scheduled to be released on April 25 – and with that date just a couple of months away, a trailer for the film has arrived online! You can watch it in the embed above.

If you need a refresher, Wikipedia reminds us that Christian Wolff was “a certified public accountant with autism who makes his living (un-)’cooking the books’ of criminal and terrorist organizations around the world that are experiencing internal embezzlement.

It’s tax season, and this year that means means two things: creepy H&r Block-mascot commercials and Ben Affleck’s “The Accountant 2.” That H&r Block mascot head, by the way, is a sniper’s dream, not that Christian Wolff needs much assistance with a rifle and scope.

In “The Accountant” franchise, Wolff (Affleck) has a talent for solving complex problems. In “The Accountant 2,” when an old acquaintance is murdered, leaving behind a cryptic message to “find the accountant,” Wolff is compelled to solve the case. Wolff is on the autism spectrum, which is alluded to in the trailer (posted below).

“Realizing more extreme measures are necessary,” as the logline reads, Wolff enlists his estranged and just-as-deadly 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...

One of the best and often overlooked action films of 2016 is Ben Affleck’s conspiracy thriller The Accountant. Don’t let the stuffy title fool you. The film features Affleck as Christian Wolff, a mathematics savant, and one-man-army who uncooks the books for a new client, only to have the Treasury Department upend his efforts and paint a target on his back. Today, we’ve got a gallery of first-look images for The Accountant 2, which finds Affleck returning to the role of Christian Wolff, with Jon Bernthal joining the cast as Christian’s brother, Brax.

Gavin O’Connor returns to direct The Accountant 2 from a screenplay by Bill Dubuque, who wrote the 2016 original. In addition to his starring role, Ben Affleck is a producer alongside Lynette Taylor and Mark Williams. Joining Affleck and Bernthal as primary cast members are Cynthia Addai-Robinson, who returns to the franchise as Marybeth Medina,...

As strange as it is, moviegoers are fascinated by the assassin. Paid handsomely for their skills of stealth, marksmanship, martial arts, and general wanton violence, these contract killers have been the focus of some of the most thrilling and emotionally provocative films ever made.

Maybe it's because many of these hit-people share many viewers' relationship to their own work -- a disdain for the spiritually emptying but financially necessary professions that command much of their life. Maybe it's because a criminal mastermind of this nature -- so devoid of humanity that they reduce human lives to zeros in a bank account -- reveals more about the world around them than any other character type.

Or maybe it's because we just like watching people fight with guns and swords. In any case, we've put together our own hit-list of flicks featuring them, ranked based on their quality, legacy, and depiction of these captivating killers.

Sometimes, a show knows exactly when to drop the mic. Created by Bill Dubuque and Mark Williams, Ozark—Netflix’s gripping crime drama—had us all talking about money laundering and cartels as if we were running our own shady business in the Ozarks. From cartels to family drama, Marty Byrde (Jason Bateman) sure made running a crime empire look like a full-time job, but in 2022, the Byrdes officially packed up and called it quits.

And oh boy, did it leave a dent!
