Affleck’s Hidden Talent SHOCKS Fans in Accountant 2!

by

As a movie enthusiast, it’s no secret that Ben Affleck has made quite a name for himself in the film industry, donning hats as an actor, director, producer, and writer. The man who took home the coveted Oscar recently marked the arrival of The Accountant 2, a sequel to the 2016 original (available on Amazon Prime for streaming). Playing protagonist Christian Wolff in this flick, Affleck had me in stitches, and truth be told, I can’t help but wish he’d take on more roles that let him showcase his comedic chops.

As a devoted cinephile, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of “The Accountant 2” for quite some time now, not because it was a demanded sequel, but due to Ben Affleck’s captivating portrayal of Christian, an accountant with a deadly edge and autism, who constantly finds himself in thrilling escapades. This film, while primarily an action-thriller, also allows Affleck to showcase his comedic talents, particularly when his character navigates awkward social situations, leaving me in stitches throughout the screening. At 52 years old, I can’t help but ponder why this versatile actor doesn’t delve more into comedy roles.

In their review of TopMob’s “The Accountant 2,” they commended Ben Affleck’s portrayal in the follow-up and pondered if it possibly outshone the first installment. The humorous aspects were emphasized in Christian’s dynamic with his brother Braxton, played by Jon Bernthal. At moments, the sequel veered towards a buddy comedy, which could potentially be an excellent genre for these two action-packed actors to explore together.

In contrast to Affleck being neurotypical, the Accountant movies have sensitively handled how Christian’s autism is depicted. Although social situations can provide humor, these films do not make light of the character. Instead, they provide a rare glimpse into the vulnerability of the highly competent and dangerous hero of this series.

Generally speaking, Affleck is recognized for performing in serious films. His roles as Batman, the Oscar-winning character in Good Will Hunting, and characters like those in The Town are typically dramatic. However, he’s shown comedic talent in collaborations with Kevin Smith, and perhaps even hinted at more humor in his scene with Wonder Woman in The Flash, suggesting that he may have been saving his comic skills for audiences to discover.

Certainly, Affleck appears to have a jam-packed calendar, and it seems his time might be more effectively utilized on non-comedy ventures. Given the past trend of major award ceremonies overlooking comedic genres, it’s possible that the actor has other, more passionate projects he’d rather focus on.

Beyond his flourishing profession, the performer-director has garnered attention not only for his work but also his personal affairs. The latest news includes the official split between Affleck and JLo, with further reports emerging about the private happenings within their household.
