The original movie, distributed by Warner Bros, follows Affleck's forensic accountant with high-functioning autism, Christian Wolff, who is forced to utilise his skills as an assassin when a new client puts his life in danger.

Specifically, the film’s director Gavin O’Connor, recently told the New York Times in a joint interview with its star Ben Affleck, that he’d like to bring back Anna Kendrick’s character Dana if there is a third movie. The actress played Christian’s (played by Affleck) love interest in the 2016 film.

The Accountant 2 has hit theaters — but one star from the original movie is notably absent. Directed by Gavin O'Connor, the original action movie was released in 2016. It followed a neurodivergent mathematics savant named Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) who makes a living as a freelance accountant for dangerous criminal organizations.
