Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal star in the trailer for their upcoming flick ‘The Accountant 2’, the follow-up to the 2016 original film The Accountant.
The trailer shows Affleck’s character reconnecting with Bernthal after the corpse of J. K. Simmons’ character is shown at the morgue. Later, the pair find an unusual way of bonding when they end up in a bar fight with other patrons. Cynthia Addai-Robinson and Allison Robertson round out the cast.
Affleck and Matt Damon are producing the film via Artists Equity, with executive producers including Artists Equity’s Dani Bernfeld, Kevin Halloran, Michael Joe and Alison Winter. Scott Lastaiti and Jamie Patricof will also serve as executive producers.
Warners Bros.’ 2016 film collected $86 million at the domestic box office and $155 million globally. It centered on Christian Wolff (Affleck), a certified public accountant on the autism spectrum who has worked for criminal organizations and uses his past as an assassin to protect himself when the Treasury Department closes in on him.
