Warning: to come and to come for “the accountant 2.”
“The accountant 2” has no teasers for another suite, but the creators and the actors want to make a third film.
“The accountant”, a 2016 criminal drama of action which followed an autistic accountant for the criminal world who was also a highly qualified vigilante, was a surprise box-office, despite the criticisms of largely negative criticisms.
A sequel was not expected because the first film left no cliff hangers, and a second film has not been announced for several years.
Friday, “The Accountant 2” was released in theaters, most of the main actors in the first film taking up their roles. Gavin O’Connor and Bill Dubuque, director and screenwriter of the first film, also returned.
Although a third film has not yet been announced, O’Connor said to Collider in March that the franchise should be a trilogy.
O’Connor said that he and Dubuque began to discuss “the accountant” becoming a trilogy while modifying the first film, and they are starting to offer ideas for the intrigue of the third film.
Ben Affleck told Fandango earlier this month that he would love to come back for another suite, believing that the franchise has a general public.
“This is a film that I noticed on the Years that have followed, as often, people will come to me and the film they evoke is the first “accountant”, said Affleck. “I said to myself, Wow, people really have an affinity for that.”
Christian and Braxton are in road trip together at the end of “the accountant 2.”

In the following, Ray King (JK Simmons), the retired chief of the American network of the application of financial crime, is killed while trying to search for a missing woman and her son.
The new boss, Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), cannot resolve the mystery, so she calls Christian Wolff (Affleck), the accountant / vigilant, who secretly worked with Medina and King to follow the criminals.
Medina does not like the violent methods of Wolff, causing a friction between the pair, and she ends up cutting the links after having corded in her brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal), a professional hitman.
The brothers also have a tense relationship after Christian has disappeared for many years, and he has trouble showing Braxton the emotional support he wants.
The pair ends up finding the missing woman (Daniella Pineda), who is now an assassin with Amnesia, with her child located in a prison camp for children of immigrants used to make their parents sing in the trafficking of human beings.
At the end of the film, Christian and Braxton go to Mexico to save the children from the camp and kill the bad guys. The female assassin learns his identity and kills man behind the trafficking of human beings.
The final scene shows Christian and Braxton who leads the disappeared child to accommodate neuroscience, a treatment center for autistic children, which Christian attended as a child.
Christian thinks that the child is also autistic, so he would benefit from living with people like him.

While the first film was a gravelly criminal drama, the second looked like a boyfriend film.
O’Connor told Indiewire this week that he wanted the third film to be a film by Road Trip with Christian, Braxton and Dana Cummings (played by Anna Kendrick in the first film).
“For the third, I said to Ben this morning: ‘I’m going to put you two, and maybe Anna Kendrick, in a van together and take a road photo and no plot,” he said.
Cummings, who did not appear below, was an accountant for a technological company that Wolff became friends and protects after she discovers that his employers divert millions of dollars.
O’Connor said Kendrick was eager to come back for the third film.
“We need Christian to find love finally, you know?” He said. “And I think I can a lot of me because Anna is so funny – I think we can have a lot of fun with the three.”
