During a recent interview to promote the release of The Accountant, O’Connor laid out his vision for a second film, and it revolves around Christian using his lethal abilities to break up a human trafficking ring selling children into sex slavery.
The Accountant features a pretty open ending, suggesting that Christian Wolff can now go on any number of adventures around the world to cook books and generally lay a serious beat down on some well-deserving criminals.
There’s ample opportunity for a sequel here, and director Gavin O’Connor already realizes this.
Not only does this idea up the stakes for Mr. Wolff in a major way, but it also feels narratively and thematically relevant to everything that has preceded it.
