Jon Bernthal is full of admiration for Ben Affleck as their highly anticipated film ‘The Accountant 2’ premieres globally on Prime Video. The sequel ramps up not just the action but also the emotional stakes, particularly between Christian Wolff and his brother Brax, portrayed by Affleck and Bernthal.
What starts as a hesitant reunion between two guarded brothers quickly evolves into one of the film’s most compelling relationships. This powerful connection extends beyond the screen, with Bernthal opening up about the deeper bond he formed with Affleck during filming.
Bernthal said, “The thing about Ben is he’s not only a brilliant actor, he’s also an enormously intelligent, vulnerable, sensitive, kind person. The first time around, we didn’t get to spend that much time with each other, but we did on this film, and we really bonded. We had an ease and a rapport right from the jump, both onscreen and off.”
This growing bond between the two actors is evident in their on-screen dynamic, making their characters’ relationship one of the film’s most gripping aspects.
