Meanwhile, O’Connor revealed that he’s already thinking about “The Accountant 3,” which has not been announced.
O’Connor told Vanity Fair about his vision for the franchise becoming a trilogy.
“I have a lot of thoughts about what to do with the third. I’ve been thinking about it for a lot of years,” he shared.
How does Affleck feel about a third movie?
“I’m keenly aware of the fact that you kind of have to earn another movie,” the actor explained. “The worst pitfall is to store a bunch of your good ideas for the next installment. If you don’t create an interest demand the first time out there, you’re just going to be playing that to an empty house.”
“The Accountant 2” will have its world premiere at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival before hitting theaters globally on April 25. Watch the new trailer above.
