Amazon MGM Studios has set the release date for The Accountant 2 as April 25, 2025. The sequel will receive a full theatrical release, just like the original film, and will arrive one week before Marvel’s Thunderbolts.* Affleck is joined by a cast that includes Jon Bernthal (The Punisher), JK Simmons (Whiplash), Cynthia Addai-Robinson (Spartacus), Daniella Pineda (Cowboy Bebop), Allison Robertson (Fear to be Brave), Robert Morgan (Babylon), and Grant Harvey (Emancipation).
"When her former boss is murdered by unknown assassins, Treasury Agent Marybeth Medina (Addai-Robinson) is forced to contact Christian Wolff (Affleck) to solve the murder," the logline reads. "With the help of his estranged but very deadly brother Brax (Bernthal), Chris applies his brilliant mind and less-than-legal methods to piece together the unsolved puzzle. As they get closer to the truth, the trio attracts the attention of some of the most ruthless killers in existence, all determined to put an end to their search."
The Accountant 2 will be directed by Gavin O'Connor, who directed the first film and also worked with Affleck on 2020's The Way Back. O'Connor also directed 2004's Miracle, 2011's Warrior and 2015's Jane Got a Gun, among other titles. Bill Dubuque wrote the screenplay.
