According to The Hollywood Reporter, the casting process for the second installment is already well underway, and we can expect to see familiar faces such as J.K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson joining Affleck once again.

The Accountant revolves around the character Christian Wolff, played by Affleck, who is a corrupt accountant working for illegal companies. His life takes a dangerous turn when he attracts the attention of the FBI. To cover his tracks, he takes on a legitimate client, but this decision leads him deeper into a criminal organization that is beyond his control.

In addition to the exciting cast news, the sequel has also found a new home at Amazon MGM Studios. Originally developed at Warner Bros, the move to Amazon has sparked curiosity among fans. Will this change accelerate the production process and bring the sequel to our screens sooner?

However, it remains to be seen whether the sequel will receive the same mixed reviews from audiences and critics as the first film. The Accountant garnered divided opinions, with a 56% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes compared to a more favorable audience score of 76%.

Critics often pointed out the film’s convoluted storyline and narrative structure. Despite this, fans appreciated the movie for its action-packed nature. As one viewer put it, ‘It’s an action film that delivers on its promise… there’s definitely room for improvement, but there’s fighting and guns and cool scenes that are just enough for me to turn my brain off and enjoy.’

While little is known about the plot of The Accountant 2, the return of the original cast promises a continuation of the story we know and love. As we eagerly await more details, fans can stream the first film on Netflix to relive the excitement and prepare for what’s to come.
