In an interview with Access Hollywood, the 52-year-old actor spoke about the challenges he faced while doing the stunts for the film. He said,

“It did not come easy for me, especially with a guy like Jon [Bernthal] who’s so spectacular at it. Cynthia [Addai-Robinson] did an incredible job, Daniella [Pineda] is super badass in the movie, so I was just trying to keep up.”

He also showered praises on Gavin O’Connor, the film's director, for the way he captured the action.

“Gavin does a great thing with action sequences – which is really, they’re not just action for its own sake. I don’t think it’s interesting just to see people shooting or a car flipping over or something blowing up just by itself.”

Ben Affleck further added,

“This is movie where you really care about the people that are involved, and it’s got an intelligence and a bit of humor and pathos to it. It’s just a whole complete package. I really feel like this is a movie that anybody could go to enjoy.”

The Accountant 2 will hit the theaters on April 25, 2025.
