The numbers don’t lie—Ben Affleck is back as Christian Wolff in The Accountant 2, and this time, he’s not crunching numbers alone. The newly released trailer teases an electrifying reunion with Jon Bernthal as Brax, Wolff’s equally lethal brother, as they delve into a conspiracy that puts them in the crosshairs of ruthless killers. Mark your calendars—this action-packed sequel hits cinemas on April 25. The Accountant 2 recently took home the Headliner Audience Award at the SXSW Film & TV Festival in Austin, Texas, setting the stage for one of 2025’s most anticipated action films.

Trailer Alert: Numbers, Bullets, and Brotherly Bonds

The new trailer is a three-minute thrill ride. It’s got everything—cryptic clues, high-stakes action, and a sibling team-up that’s equal parts heart and havoc. Affleck’s Wolff is back, sharper than ever, unraveling a murder mystery that pulls him into a deadly conspiracy. Enter Bernthal’s Brax, a wildcard with fists as fast as his brother’s brain. Together? They’re unstoppable.

What’s the Mission?

Here’s the gist: When an old friend’s murder leaves behind a message to “find the accountant,” Wolff can’t resist. But this isn’t just about cracking codes—it’s personal. Teaming up with Brax and U.S. Treasury hotshot Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), they’re hunting a truth buried under a pile of bodies. The catch? A network of ruthless killers is hunting them right back. Expect edge-of-your-seat tension and a few “wait, what?!” moments. How hyped are you for this cat-and-mouse chase?
