Jon Bernthal is all praise for Ben Affleck as their much-awaited film The Accountant 2 premieres globally on Prime Video
Film Premier
In Prime Video’s The Accountant 2, it’s not just the action that intensifies, the relationships do too. Especially the one between Christian Wolff and his brother Brax, played by Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal, respectively. What begins as a reluctant reunion between two emotionally walled-off men becomes one of the film’s most gripping dynamics. And it’s not just powerful on screen, it’s personal off screen, too. Jon Bernthal, known for his ability to bring both rawness and nuance to his roles, opens up about what it meant to reconnect with Affleck in a deeper way for the much-awaited sequel.
Expressing his admiration for Affleck, Bernthal shares, “The thing about Ben is he’s not only a brilliant actor, he’s also an enormously intelligent, vulnerable, sensitive, kind person. The first time around, we didn’t get to spend that much time with each other, but we did on this film, and we really bonded. We had an ease and a rapport right from the jump, both onscreen and off.”
Directed by Gavin O’Connor and written by Bill Dubuque, and produced by Ben Affleck, Lynette Howell Taylor p.g.a., and Mark Williams, The Accountant 2 reunites the powerhouse team from the 2016 hit. With Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Daniella Pineda, Allison Robertson and J.K. Simmons in lead roles, the film blends fast-paced thrills with grounded storytelling. The action crime thriller is now streaming exclusively on Prime Video.
