EXCLUSIVE: Daniella Pineda, Allison Robertson, Robert Morgan, and Grant Harvey have joined the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios and Artists Equity feature The Accountant 2, the sequel to the 2016 thriller. Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, J.K. Simmons and Cynthia Addai-Robinson are reprising their roles with Gavin O’Connor returning as director. Bill Dubuque penned the script.
The film follows Treasury Agent Marybeth Medina (Addai-Robinson), who after her boss is murdered by unknown assassins, is forced to contact Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) to solve the murder. With the help of his estranged but highly lethal brother Brax (Jon Bernthal), 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.
Artists Equity, which serves as the studio on The Accountant 2, acquired the sequel rights from Warner Bros. and brought the movie to Amazon MGM. Artists Equity’s Affleck and Matt Damon, 51 Entertainment’s Lynette Howell Taylor, and Mark Williams will produce. Executive producers include Artists Equity’s Dani Bernfeld, Kevin Halloran, Michael Joe, and Alison Winter. In addition Scott LaStaiti and Jamie Patricof serve as executive producers.
