Anna Kendrick fans, don’t toss your calculators in despair just yet! While she won’t be part of The Accountant 2, director Gavin O’Connor has tossed us a hopeful little breadcrumb: she might be back for The Accountant 3. Yep, Dana isn’t out of the equation entirely. Kendrick played the charmingly quirky number whiz who managed to break through Ben Affleck’s emotionally bulletproof exterior in the first film, sparking a fan-favorite dynamic that balanced action with a pinch of awkward flirtation.
Her absence in the sequel definitely stings, but if O’Connor’s math checks out, we could see Dana and Chris teaming up again down the line, maybe solving a case and their feelings. For now, she’s on hiatus from the high-stakes number game, but the books might not be closed just yet. So, fingers crossed, because what’s an intense action thriller without a little nerdy banter and unexpected heart?
Is Anna Kendrick Returning to The Accountant?
If you were already picturing Anna Kendrick casually dropping witty one-liners while solving fraudulent ledgers alongside Ben Affleck’s broody number-crunching vigilante, slow down your imagination. Because The Accountant 2 is going full sibling therapy mode instead. Yep, Dana’s officially not in this round.

Director Gavin O’Connor recently cleared the air in an interview with The Direct, and it’s safe to say Kendrick’s character wasn’t even in the draft stage this time. “No, it was never, the second film was always for Bill [Dubuque] and I to start to unite the two brothers. Very slowly. They had to start to fix all their s–t, their issues,” he said.
In other words, the sequel is like one long family counseling session but with assassins, shady deals, and maybe a bit of bookkeeping on the side.
While Dana’s quirky math magic and slightly awkward romantic vibes are MIA in the sequel, that doesn’t mean she’s permanently out of the franchise. O’Connor is already sprinkling some serious hope dust on The Accountant 3.
“And the third movie, and I wanted to set up that Chris is still looking for love and looking for connection, which I’m going to explore deeper in the third movie. So, don’t be surprised if Dana, Anna [Kendrick] shows up in the third film.”
So, hold on to your calculators, folks. Anna Kendrick may not be crunching numbers this time, but the sequel’s brewing something deeper, and Dana’s possible return could bring back the awkward-romantic math energy we didn’t know we missed until now.
The Accountant Sequel Cast
The numbers are in, and The Accountant 2 cast is stacking up faster than Chris Wolff’s offshore accounts. Ben Affleck is back with his deadpan stare and deadly math skills as Christian Wolff, and this time, he’s not solo, Jon Bernthal returns as Braxton, the brother with fists of fury and unresolved childhood trauma. Yes, the Wolff pack is officially reunited.
J.K. Simmons also makes a comeback as Ray King, well, sort of. His character’s death is actually the spark that sets this sequel in motion. Talk about one final accounting error. Cynthia Addai-Robinson is also back in action as Marybeth Medina, now teaming up with the Wolff bros for what we can only assume is a bullet-filled audit of bad guys.
But wait, there’s new blood too! Daniella Pineda is stepping in as Anaïs (mysterious name = probably cool), Robert Morgan plays someone named Burke (sounds shady already), and Grant Harvey enters the chat as Cobb. Rounding it off, Andrew Howard joins as Batu, which definitely sounds like a villain who monologues before a brawl.
While details are under tighter wraps than Wolff’s tax records, this cast hints at some high-stakes action, brotherly bonding, and maybe a few spreadsheet shootouts. Let’s just say, this audit’s about to get intense.
