Film sequels space an fascinating beast, as they must dwell as much as the unique. Whereas some sequels no one requested for, followers have waited years to lastly see Ben Affleck and firm return for The Accountant 2. And Actress Cynthia Addai-Robinson spoke to CinemaBlend about why the unique film has stayed related for the years it took to lastly deliver Gavin O’Connor’s sequel to life.
CinemaBlend’s Accountant 2 overview praised the film’s contents, and claimed that it may need even surpassed the unique. However the challenge has been a very long time coming, for the reason that authentic launched again in 2016. As you may see within the video above, I spoke to to Addai-Robinson, who’s reprising her function as Marybeth Medina. I requested her concerning the burgeoning franchise’s ongoing recognition, and he or she stated:
I bear in mind once I labored on it I assumed it was a very intelligently written script. It had actually fascinating characters. It was an incredible expertise for me, making the primary one. And it did rather well, however what I assumed was spectacular was that it had this endurance to it. That it was a film that individuals watched a number of instances.
A part of this is likely to be to the wild twists of the primary Accountant film. That probably helps make it re-watchable, as does Ben Affleck’s uniquely charming efficiency as Chritian Wolff. It is not like any character he is performed earlier than, and it is wildly satisfying seeing him clear up the franchise’s mysteries utilizing his explicit set of expertise.

However its the followers which have stored the franchise alive through the years, because of re-watching the unique film and calling for the long-awaited sequel. Later in our identical dialog, the star of Rings of Energy (which is streaming with an Amazon Prime subscription) spoke about her fondness for Gavin O’Connor’s pair of films, saying:
I like the truth that there’s one thing, virtually a consolation meals, about it. To me it’s a little bit of a throwback by way of the form of motion pictures that you just’re not seeing as a lot being made. This type of mid-budget type of motion thriller, however with intelligence. With thoughtfulness and depth to it. These are the form of motion pictures I like watching and positively love making. So I’m comfortable to not solely be a part of one thing like that however to revisit it 9 years later and have the goodwill of an viewers. They’re there like ‘We can’t wait to see this film. We love these characters. We will’t wait to see the brand new characters, the brand new surprises, the brand new puzzle.’
The consolation meals side may be very actual. Particularly as a result of it is so enjoyable to see Ben Affleck’s character be so rattling environment friendly. Christian Wolff can do all of it, and each motion pictures methodically play out a thriller in a method that is wildly satisfying conclusion. And if The Accountant 2 does nicely in theaters, perhaps we’ll get the chance to see the franchise develop right into a full-blown trilogy. Hey, a man can dream!
