Warner Bros. is gearing up to make a sequel to the 2016 hit, The Accountant. Screenwriter Bill Dubuque , director Gavin O’Connor and Ben Affleck are in talks to return, along with the producers Lynette Howell Taylor and Mark Williams. All those deals are being worked out to ensure that all the key players return.
The original starred Affleck as the title character, a math savant with high-functioning autism who works as a forensic accountant and un-cooks the books for unsavory criminal organizations under the glare of law enforcement.
The film was a bit of a surprise hit last year when it grossed $155 million worldwide on a $44 million budget.
