2026 has been a huge year for Jon Bernthal, who plays a key role in one of the biggest movies of the year, The Odyssey. After already grossing over $650 million at the box office in less than two weeks, The Odyssey is expected to finish its run with north of $1.3 billion globally, making it the biggest Christopher Nolan movie of all time. Bernthal co-stars in the historical epic with Tom Holland, but it’s not the only big movie of the summer the two star in together. The duo can be seen headlining Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which opened in theaters this weekend and is eyeing a historic box office opening. Bernthal recently starred in the first solo MCU Punisher project of his career, The Punisher: One Last Kill, the Disney Plus special now streaming around the world.
Bernthal has become one of the biggest action stars in the world in the last 10 years, largely due to his role as Braxton opposite Ben Affleck in The Accountant movies. The first Accountant movie released all the way back in 2016, and while it took some time, the franchise finally came back with a sequel last year, which earned widespread acclaim from both critics and audiences. The Accountant is streaming on HBO Max overseas, where it’s one of the top 10 most-watched titles in more than 15 countries. It’s currently absent from streaming in America. It’s the perfect mash-up of John Wick and The Equalizer for fans of high-octane action that’s also methodical.
What Is the First ‘Accountant’ Movie About?
The official synopsis for The Accountant reads as follows: “Ben Affleck stars as Christian Wolff, a math-savant CPA who secretly launders books for the world’s most dangerous criminal organizations. When he takes on a legitimate robotics firm and its accountant (Anna Kendrick) uncovers a massive discrepancy, his cover unravels—and a Treasury agent (J.K. Simmons) closes in. As the truth surfaces, the body count rises fast.” The Accountant earned scores of 53% from critics and 77% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Amazon has confirmed that a third Accountant movie is in the works, but it’s unclear at this time how it fits into the busy schedules of both Affleck and Bernthal.
Check out The Accountant on HBO Max overseas and on VOD platforms like Prime Video in America, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Bernthal’s future projects.
