According to an exclusive from Deadline, a sequel to the 2016 film The Accountant is for sure in the works. If anyone cares.
Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, J.K. Simmons, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson have locked deals to return for The Accountant 2, the sequel to the Gavin O’Connor-directed action thriller The Accountant, on which Amazon MGM Studios has teamed with Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artists Equity.
A THRILLER.
The first movie grossed $155 million worldwide in 2016 and was the most-rented digital movie of 2017.

In the sequel, maybe the Anna Kendrick character can pick an undergrad school that actually offers an accounting major.
With all the buzz this will generate, the AICPA will have to get to work to tack on a 6th year to keep the number of accounting majors down.
