Anna Kendrick ready to return for Accountant 3
Anna Kendrick is keen to return for 'The Accountant 3'. The 39-year-old actress didn't reprise her role as Dana Cummings in the recently-released sequel but director Gavin O'Connor is planning a third movie and has already asked her to be part of it. Asked if there are plans for a third movie, lead star Ben Affleck - who plays autistic accountant Christian Wolff - told the New York Times newspaper: "That's a question I want to ask Bill [Dubuque, writer] and Gavin. I'm just waiting for another great script." Gavin said: "Bill and I have had some preliminary conversations. I am personally running from another puzzle movie, which we've done twice now. One thing we've talked about is the idea of bringing Anna Kendrick back. Maybe Christian can finally get the love that he deserves." Gavin's comment prompted Ben to joke that he and the team are hoping Anna "still likes" them, prompting the director to reveal he'd already discussed the return with the 'Pitch Perfect' star. He said: "Actually, Ben, she and I have been texting. She said she's a hundred percent in if we want." Ben replied: "Oh, beautiful. Then it's really down to you guys to mess it up." In another interview, Gavin explained Anna's character was never meant to be in the sequel because the "whole point" of the movie was the relationship between Christian and his brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal) following their emotional reunion in the 2016 thriller. He told Entertainment Weekly: "We always wanted it to be three movies. "When Bill and I started talking about the second movie, it was very important that we didn't want a love story. We wanted a love story with brothers. We wanted to do a '48 Hours' or 'Midnight Run' kind of buddy picture... "I mean, how do I bring Anna into the second and then ignore her? The whole point was exploring the brothers and that emotional line between them. That was always the intention, so she was never going to be in the second." The filmmaker confirmed his planned third movie will likely feature a love story. He said: "Then the third movie, which is what the plan has always been, is for [Chris'] quest for love and connection to be consummated. I don't know what that's going to be yet, but that's the intention... "I'm going to probably do something that makes me interested to come to work every day and tell a story. And then, lastly, yes, if it's going to be Anna, Chris needs to find love and find connection and go off into the sunset. So it probably will be with Dana Cummings."

Ben Affleck Hints at 'The Accountant 3' as Audience Demands More from the Franchise
Ben Affleck , the A-list actor in Hollywood, starred in 'The Accountant' franchise and enchanted the audiences with his performance. The recently released second instalment has been getting positive reviews, and the audience demands more. Well, the director Gavin O'Connor always envisioned the film to be a trilogy to give an appropriate ending to the tale of Christian Wolff (played by Affleck), so one can hope. The character of Christian Wolff In 'The Accountant 2,' Christian is known to fail to have an emotional connection and a healthy relationship, according to USA Today. 'Christian, finding connection and love is the natural progression,' the director mentioned during the movie's premiere. While expressing about the complex character, Ben Affleck stated, 'Something that I find really beautiful is the naked yearning to say, 'I want to have this kind of connection with another person.' It's just difficult for me to figure out the sort of coded language that everybody seems to be using.' 'We've all had those moments where we reflect, 'Did I say the wrong thing? Oh, my God, I'm so stupid,' the 52-year-old actor stated about overthinking.

'And sometimes it just really blows up in his face. And we all feel that way, like, 'Oh, if I tell the truth about who I really am, or my insecurities, or my fears or even what I like or my hobbies, is the other person going to think that's lame and judge me?' Ben continued. Is there going to be 'The Accountant 3'? Speaking about expecting a third instalment, the 'Batman' actor said, 'But if I give it away to you, it will ruin whole movie.' Furthermore, he said that Christian's character arc has evolved since the first movie in 2016. In the first film, he is grappling with his feelings, but in the second film, he is making choices, but heartbreakingly, knowing that he is trying to make deliberate choices. 'Then ultimately, there are a whole other set of human mysteries that surround what it's like to be in a relationship, and I think that would be a really, really interesting, really fertile ground to explore,' Ben said, hinting at the third instalment.
