'The Accountant 3' Gets Promising Sequel Update From Series Writer

Ben Affleck has a long legacy of starring in thrilling action movies, whether they are big-budget spectacles like Armageddon or more grounded heist thrillers like The Town, he has decades of titles that keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Some of these titles immediately win over audiences and become major box-office earners, though others take a longer time to be fully appreciated. When The Accountant first hit theaters in 2016, it received mixed but mostly positive reviews from critics. Praised for Gavin O’Connor’s direction and Bill Dubuque’s screenplay, the film’s impressive box-office haul meant that a sequel was practically guaranteed, but distribution and rights issues would stall the development of the follow-up for quite some time.
