Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal form a brotherly tag team in the trailer for The Accountant 2.
After the events of The Accountant, Christian Wolff (Affleck) continues to travel the country while living in his airstream trailer. Christian even tries speed dating, though that doesn’t go so well. Christian, aka The Accountant, still uses his mathematical genius to launder money for some of the top criminals in the world.
Raymond King (J.K. Simmons), Christian’s old contact in the Treasury Department, is tragically murdered. While examining the body, King had “Find the Accountant” written on his arm. U.S. Treasury Deputy Director Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) recruits Christian to investigate King’s murder and find the killers.
This case can’t be solved strictly with numbers. Christian needs more muscle. Enter his brother, Braxton (Jon Bernthal), a highly trained mercenary. Together, the brothers uncover a network of killers that must be stopped. The action-packed trailer ends with Christian and Brax executing a two-man ambush as they kill everyone in their path.
Daniella Pineda and Allison Robertson also star.
Gavin O’Connor returns to direct The Accountant 2 from a screenplay by Bill Dubuque. O’Connor and Affleck have now collaborated on three films: The Accountant, The Way Back, and The Accountant 2.
Released in 2016, The Accountant was a surprise hit, grossing over $155 million on a budget of $44 million.
Amazon MGM Studios will release The Accountant 2 in theaters on April 25, 2025. Fans can see the movie early on April 15 with exclusive Tax Day screenings. Tickets are now available on the film’s official website.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
