The Accountant 2, Jon Bernthal's action thriller alongside Ben Affleck, has become a major streaming success internationally, ranking among the top 10 most-watched titles on HBO Max in over 15 countries. The film's popularity underscores a breakout year for Bernthal, who has emerged as one of Hollywood's leading action stars off the back of roles in several high-profile 2026 releases.

The sequel, which followed the 2016 original after a lengthy gap, earned strong reviews from critics and audiences alike and has been likened to a blend of John Wick and The Equalizer for its combination of stylish action and methodical plotting. Despite its overseas success, it remains unavailable on American streaming platforms. Bernthal's other 2026 credits include Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which has grossed over $650 million and is projected to surpass $1.3 billion globally, alongside Tom Holland; the pair also co-star in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Bernthal additionally headlined the Disney+ special The Punisher: One Last Kill.
