Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal shared a way to see their new movie “The Accountant 2” a little bit early in honor of Tax Day.
Affleck and Bernthal, who are reprising their roles as Christian and Braxton Wolff from the 2016 film “The Accountant,” revealed on TODAY there will be early screenings of the sequel today, April 15, to celebrate Tax Day.
“If you want to see ‘The Accountant 2’ before it hits theaters on April 25, check your local showtimes for advanced screenings tonight celebrating Tax Day,” Bernthal said.
“Or you could just celebrate the movie coming out and accept Tax Day as inevitable,” Affleck said, before sharing another TODAY announcement.
“Anyway, see you in Studio 1A next week,” he said.
The actors will make live appearances on TODAY next week to promote the sequel to their 2016 film, which follows an accountant who doubles as a money launderer, cleaning up the financial records of organizations undergoing embezzlement.
The sequel picks up when a Treasury agent contacts Christian Wolff for help solving a murder when someone close to her is killed. To find the killer, Christian enlists the help of his brother Braxton, and the trio end up getting into harm’s way themselves.
While on TODAY, Bernthal asked Affleck if he does his own taxes.
“No, what are you talking about? Of course I don’t do my own taxes, I can’t do any of this stuff,” Affleck replied.
“Well, I guess I’m on my own,” Bernthal said.
“If you’re looking at me for help, you are,” Affleck said.
Affleck wished everyone good luck ahead of Tax Day, or the last day to file taxes without an extension on April 15.
After giving some tax advice, the actors signed off of their segment as each other, and ended up in a half hug.
