The Accountant 2 continues Christian Wolff’s story, but it may not be the end, which could lead to questions about post-credits scenes. It took nine years for a sequel to The Accountant to come out, but now that it’s here, whether the franchise will continue becomes a focus. The Accountant 2 brings back Ben Affleck as Christian Wolff, Jon Bernthal as his brother Braxton, and a few other characters from the original film. And after the 2016 film became a box office hit, it didn’t take much for discussions about The Accountant 3 to begin.

Ahead of The Accountant 2‘s release, Amazon MGM has not confirmed plans for a third film. That does not mean that it will not happen, nor does it indicate that there’s no setup for the threequel in the second installment. Anyone watching The Accountant 2 in theaters or on streaming will likely wonder whether there’s a post-credits scene that directly teases what’s next. Franchises using credits scenes has become an increasingly common practice in Hollywood during the 21st century, but that didn’t guarantee Ben Affleck’s action series would, especially since the first film didn’t.

The Accountant 2 Does Not Have A Post-Credits Scene

There’s No Direct Tease For The Accountant 3

It is confirmed that there is no post-credits scene attached to The Accountant 2. There are no surprise tag scenes in the mid or end credits that audiences could miss. Watching the credits is still encouraged to see the names of everyone who worked on the movie. While the lack of a post-credits scene teasing Christian and Braxton’s next adventure may be disappointing for some, it continues the franchise’s tradition of not including one.

The Accountant 3 Has Already Been Teased Without An Accountant 2 Credits Scene

Another Sequel Is Wanted

Even without a post-credits scene for The Accountant 2, there has still been teases for The Accountant 3. Franchise director Gavin O’Connor previously confirmed he had ideas for a third film that would once again bring Affleck and Bernthal’s characters together. Exact plot details are unconfirmed, but The Accountant 2‘s ending does lay some groundwork for how the franchise could continue. It’s even been suggested that Dana Cummings could return after Anna Kendrick’s absence from The Accountant 2.

Whether or not The Accountant 3 happens will depend on how the current sequel performs. It’s received strong reviews, 79% on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, and is projected to do well at the box office. That should give Amazon MGM some confidence to make The Accountant 3 and give the threequel an official green light. But, in the event that a third film is not made, The Accountant 2 not having a post-credits scene will become a better decision. It’s better not to promise a movie that may not happen.
