THE ACCOUNTANT 2 – IN THEATERS
THE ACCOUNTANT 2 is coming to theaters!
Isis Mussenden designed the costumes for this second installment in the action thriller series. Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, and J. K. Simmons reprise their roles from the previous film, with Daniella Pineda joining the cast.
When someone close to her is killed by unknown assassins, Treasury Agent Marybeth Medina is forced to contact Christian Wolff to solve the murder. With the help of his estranged but highly lethal brother Brax, Chris applies his brilliant mind and less-than-legal methods to piece together the unsolved puzzle. As they get closer to the truth, the trio draw the attention of some of the most ruthless killers alive — all intent on putting a stop to their search.
The film premiered at SXSW 2025, and will be theatrically released in the United States by Amazon MGM Studios and Internationally by Warner Bros. Pictures on April 25
