EXCLUSIVE: Amazon MGM Studios, once again, is showing its commitment to the big screen with The Accountant 2 which will make a theatrical splash on April 25, 2025. Until now, no release plan were made public about the Ben Affleck starring, Gavin O’Connor directed sequel.
That final April date proved to be solid frame for Amazon MGM this year with the Luca Guadagnino directed, Zendaya starring Challengers which opened to $15M, made $50.1M stateside and $94.2M overall worldwide.
Currently, Accountant 2 is the only studio wide entry on April 25 next year, the weekend before Marvel Studios kicks off summer with Thunderbolts* on May 2.
Blurb for Accountant 2: When her former boss is killed by unknown assassins, Treasury Agent Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) 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.
Pic, which was penned by the first installment’s Bill Dubuque, also stars Oscar winner J.K. Simmons, Daniella Pineda, Allison Robertson, Robert Morgan and Grant Harvey.
