Cynthia Addai-Robinson to reprise role in The Accountant 2 opposite Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, J.K. Simmons, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson are set to star in the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios and Artists Equity feature The Accountant 2, the sequel to the hit action-thriller The Accountant. Gavin O’Connor is returning to direct from a script penned by Bill Dubuque (The Accountant).
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.
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.
Artists Equity’s Ben 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.
The Accountant 2 will be available to stream on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide and will mark the fourth feature from Artists Equity and Amazon MGM Studios including the current chart-topping, critically acclaimed documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told; Golden Globe-nominated sports drama AIR, which was released last year; and the upcoming Unstoppable, based on the true story of Anthony Robles.
The Accountant was released by Warner Bros. in 2016, earning $155 million worldwide and was the most-rented digital film of 2017.
Cynthia Addai-Robinson can be seen in The People We Hate at the Wedding and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power for Amazon MGM Studios.
