Ben Affleck on His Toughest Challenge: Keeping Up with the Cast
Ben Affleck may have plenty of experience with action roles, but he admits that the stunts in The Accountant 2 were no walk in the park—especially when working alongside co-stars known for their physicality.
“It did not come easy for me, especially with a guy like Jon Bernthal, who’s so spectacular at it,” he shared in an interview with Access Hollywood. “Cynthia [Addai-Robinson] did an incredible job, Daniella [Pineda] is super badass in the movie, so I was just trying to keep up.”
His commitment to acting remained constant, yet his performance as Christian Wolff exceeded all his previous roles through extra diligence in The Accountant 2.
Gavin O’Connor’s Vision for The Accountant 2
Gavin O’Connor returns as director for a second time to handle the sequel through his distinctive action filmmaking style. Ben Affleck commended O’Connor for his talent to produce aesthetically impressive battles representing deep story elements.
“Gavin does a great thing with action sequences,” Affleck said. “They’re not just action for its own sake. I don’t think it’s interesting just to see people shooting, a car flipping over, or something blowing up just by itself.”
Audiences will get to see precisely orchestrated battles combined with intense tension while understanding a deeper side of Christian Wolff’s intricate psychological makeup in his story.
The Accountant 2 is expected to release in theaters on April 25
