As a die-hard fan of both action thrillers and Ben Affleck’s exceptional acting, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the upcoming sequel to “The Accountant.” The fact that it has already wrapped filming is simply mind-blowing! It feels like we fans have been waiting an eternity for this moment.
Regarding Ben Affleck’s upcoming films, the one to watch out for is indeed the sequel to 2016’s “The Accountant,” a project that has definitely been moving forward. In a recent conversation with Cynthia Addai-Robinson, who starred in both movies, she provided some exciting news about the action thriller that director Gavin O’Connor has long been discussing since the debut of the initial film.
The Accountant 2 Has Wrapped Filming Already
I recently had a chat with Cynthia Addai-Robinson before the launch of Season 2 of “Lord of the Rings: The Rings Of Power” on Thursday. Besides discussing her relocation from New Zealand during this production and her portrayal of the now blind queen, she also touched upon “The Accountant 2”. In her own words:
Here are some insights I’ve been working on. We finished filming in June. The project is now complete. It’s currently undergoing refinement. I can’t wait for both old and new viewers to watch the sequel. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve created, and I’m eagerly anticipating its release.
The follow-up was revealed in March, featuring Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, J.K. Simmons, and Addai-Robinson returning to their roles (Anna Kendrick will not be participating). However, isn’t it astounding that it has already progressed to the post-production stage?
I’m Really Excited Cynthia Addai-Robinson Will Have An Expanded Role
That’s only the tip of the iceberg of what Cynthia Addai-Robinson shared about what’s to come, even though she was understandably a bit tight-lipped. I had recently watched The Accountant when I spoke to the actress on the phone and mentioned how her character, Marybeth Medina, actually never shares a single scene with Ben Affleck’s autistic accountant, Christian Wolff. That won’t be the case in the sequel. As she shared:
Indeed, you are right; I didn’t have the opportunity to collaborate with Ben on the initial project. I only reviewed his photos, and our encounter would have been during the table read for the first movie, exchanging brief greetings here and there. However, I did anticipate when they announced the sequel, I might get to work with him and share some scenes with him. And fortunately, that’s what happened.
In case you remember, Addai-Robinson portrays a young Treasury agent, who teamed up with J.K. Simmons’ character, Director of the Treasury Department Ray King, in the movie. Their mission was to uncover the Accountant’s true identity. By the end of the film, they achieved their goal, but Christian (the Accountant) is on the move again, likely planning to adopt a new identity somewhere else. Addai-Robinson added this:
In our new project, a significant number of individuals from the initial film are rejoining us. This group includes our scriptwriter, Bill Dubuque, our director, Gavin O’Connor, as well as our entire cast. The unique interactions they’ve established for my character, Marybeth, and other characters, are truly captivating, though I won’t reveal too many details to keep the suspense.
According to the official summary for “The Accountant 2”, character Marybeth finds herself in a situation where she must seek help from Christian Wolff. This is due to a murder that has occurred, and both Christian and his brother Brax (portrayed by Jon Bernthal) will join forces to unravel the mystery behind it. As they inch closer to solving this enigma, Marybeth, Christian, and Brax seem to be under scrutiny from some of the deadliest assassins currently active.
In the upcoming film, “The Accountant 2,” Marybeth is expected to have a larger role, revealing more details about her intriguing past. Initially presented as a woman with a criminal history stemming from her juvenile years, she was poised to assume the position of King, held by Simmons, once he retires. I’m eager to delve deeper into Marybeth’s story and understand how her relationship with Affleck’s character will develop, considering the insights she gained about him during their search in the original movie.
It’s yet to be announced when “The Accountant 2” will hit theaters, but I’m guessing it might be one of the films coming out in 2025.
