Ben Affleck Returns as a Neurodivergent Action Hero in The Accountant 2

THE ACCOUNTANT 2 (NC16) 132 minutes, opens on April 24

The story: Eight years after the events of The Accountant (2016), mob accountant Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) is living a solitary, nondescript life. Senior US Treasury official Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) contacts him about a case involving old friend Ray King (J.K. Simmons), drawing the expert on spreadsheets and silencers once more into violent conflict with a criminal organisation and the assassin Anais (Daniella Pineda). This time, Christian's brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal) is by his side, with both employing the military tactics taught to them by their father.

Welcome to the Accountant Cinematic Universe, or ACU. This sequel to the successful 2016 action thriller has the symptoms of franchise fever – there is more action, bigger set pieces and higher stakes.
