Following their well-received CinemaCon debut presentation last night, Amazon MGM Studios have released a brand new trailer for Gavin O'Connor's long-awaited sequel The Accountant 2, offering a fresh new look at the return of 2x Academy Award-winner Ben Affleck (Justice LeagueArgo; The Town) as the titular killer and the Punisher himself Jon Bernthal (The Punisher; Daredevil: Born AgainThe Wolf of Wall Street) as his kickass brother. 

The new trailer leans heavily into the buddy comedy aspect of the action-thriller, with both Affleck and Bernthal picking up where they left off nine years ago and showing off their excellent chemistry as reunited brothers.

We've also gotten word that tickets are now on sale, and if you're interested in seeing the movie ten days early, the studio will be hosting exclusive Tax Day screenings on Tuesday, April 15 nationwide.

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."

The first film, The Accountant, debuted in 2016 and was a major success at the global box office, grossing over $155.2 million on an estimated $44 million production budget. 

In addition to Affleck and Bernthal, the supporting cast consists of Cynthia Addai-Robinson (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power; Power; Arrow), Daniella Pineda (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom; Cowboy Bebop; The Originals), Allison Robertson (Josie and the Pussycats; The Last Shot; Supergirl), and Academy Award-winner J.K. Simmons (Whiplash; Spider-Man; Being the Ricardos).

Gavin O'Connor (Warrior; The Way Back; Miracle) returns to helm the sequel with a screenplay from original screenwriter Bill Dubuque (The Judge; A Family Man; Ozark). 

Affleck is producing the feature alongside Matt Damon, Lynette Howell Taylor, and Mark Williams. 

The Accountant 2 hits theaters April 25!

Looks fun imo , I’ll definitely check it out!!.

The original was decent imo and had a more serious tone while this seems to have a lighter one even with the drama still being there due to Bernthal’s character having a bigger role and working alongside Affleck’s Christian thus leaning into the sibling dynamic.

Never knew I needed a buddy action comedy between Batman/Daredevil & The Punisher but here we are lol.

I'm honestly just so happy that this movie has been made. I really liked the first one, & I feared it'd wind up being the type of movie that just sorta disappears from public consciousness.

Very much looking forward to checking this one out when I get a chance.
