Anna Kendrick Might Return for The Accountant 3, Director Teases

by

I’m excited to share some intriguing news if you’re an Anna Kendrick fan like me! According to the director of “The Accountant 2”, Gavin O’Connor, there might be a chance that Anna Kendrick could rejoin the cast for “The Accountant 3”. In the original movie, Anna played Dana, a young accountant who worked for the same company as Ben Affleck’s character, Chris. They formed a bond, with Dana serving as a romantic interest for the main character. Interestingly, it was previously confirmed that Kendrick wouldn’t be in “The Accountant 2”. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope for her return in the third installment!

As I eagerly await the upcoming release of The Accountant 2, I had the pleasure of sitting down with director Gavin O’Connor for an exclusive interview. When asked if Anna Kendrick was ever considered for a role in the sequel, the director himself clarified that she wasn’t originally intended to be part of the narrative. Instead, he and writer Bill Dubuque chose to delve deeper into the sibling relationship between Affleck’s Chris and Bernthal’s Brax. However, he hinted that the possibility for Kendrick’s return in The Accountant 3 is definitely on the table, given the storyline he has in mind. Check out what O’Connor revealed below!

The second film was always intended by Bill Dubuque and me as a means to gradually bring the two brothers together. They needed time to work through their problems and resolve their issues, which was our goal for the sequel. Furthermore, I planned to delve deeper into Chris’s search for love and connection in the third movie. So, don’t be surprised if Dana or Anna Kendrick appears in the third installment.

What This Means For Kendrick’s Accountant Future

Chris Is Trying To Grow One Step At A Time

In the first film, Kendrick and Affleck’s relationship garnered positive responses. However, the conclusion of The Accountant seemed to suggest that Dana’s role in the franchise may not continue, as Chris did not explicitly commit to revisiting her. Instead, the ending implied a focus on reconnecting with his brother Brax, suggesting an effort to mend their relationship.

So far, the hints about The Accountant 2 have kept us guessing about whether that significant event from the first movie actually occurred. But one thing’s for sure, it looks like the sequel is going to delve deeply into the dynamics of the siblings. Interestingly enough, the latest trailer shows Chris getting into some funny predicaments in the realm of dating – from crashing a speed-dating event to having a heated exchange over a lady in a saloon. Now, with Christian O’Connor suggesting that The Accountant 3 will explore Chris’s romantic life more extensively, it seems like there might be some truth to that tease. As a movie enthusiast, I can’t wait to see how this unfolds!

The question now arises as to why Kendrick might reappear as Dana in the next movie. Given that the Accountant films have depicted Chris as a nomad, largely due to his criminal occupation, it’s plausible that a job requiring him to return to her region could lead to their reunion. Alternatively, if O’Connor and Dubuque are planning The Accountant 3 as the final installment, Chris might go back to Dana with the intention of settling down with her.

Our Take On Kendrick’s Potential Accountant 3 Return

The Duo Were A Lot Of Fun In The First Movie

independent of the approach they take when arranging her comeback, having Kendrick feature in The Accountant 3 would be a delightful choice following her absence in the latest film. The charming romantic dynamics between her and Affleck in the original film added a refreshing lightness to the otherwise intense action, and since she seemed so receptive towards him, I’m eager to see how his character development in the sequel might affect their possible reunion.
