The Accountant 2, heavily rumored to be on the way the last few months, is officially a go at Amazon MGM. Returning for the sequel are stars Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, J.K.

If you never saw the original, here is the trailer.
The Accountant 2… Finally
Christian Wolff (Affleck) is a math savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Behind the cover of a small-town CPA office, he works as a freelance accountant for some of the world's most dangerous criminal organizations. With the Treasury Department's Crime Enforcement Division, run by Ray King (J.K. Simmons), starting to close in, Christian takes on a legitimate client: a state-of-the-art robotics company where an accounting clerk (Anna Kendrick) has discovered a discrepancy involving millions of dollars. But as Christian uncooks the books and gets closer to the truth, it is the body count that starts to rise.
I really liked that first film, and while I never thought we should get a sequel, I am not against it. I also like that the original cast is all returning; that is a bit of a surprise. I wonder what rare comic he will have in this sequel, as I became the Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme in the theater when they showed the DC Comics in the first one. Give that first one a watch; it really is entertaining.
