The Accountant 2, released in 2025, sees Ben Affleck reprising his role as Christian Wolff. When an old acquaintance is murdered, Wolff enlists his estranged brother, Brax, to unravel a deadly conspiracy. Alongside Marybeth Medina, they confront a relentless network of killers determined to maintain their secrets.

If the sequel is successful, O’Connor reportedly plans to develop a third movie in theAccountanttrilogy.

The Accountant 2’s trailerhas already revealed thatRaymond King will die earlyin the movie.

Targeting Raymond King makes her a very personal enemy, and the entire movie will hinge on her performance.

Alongside Marybeth Medina, they confront a relentless online grid of killers determined to maintain their secrets.
