Why Anna Kendrick Isn't in 'The Accountant 2' & What She Said About a Third Movie

Anna Kendrick starred opposite Ben Affleck in the first The Accountant movie, but she didn’t return for the sequel. So, what happened?

The Oscar-nominated actress played accountant Dana Cummings in the 2016 movie and her character had a send-off at the end when Ben‘s character Christian leaves her a Pollock painting.

Dana was connected to the case that Christian worked on and it wouldn’t make sense for her to be involved in one of his next cases, so it was always unlikely that she would return.
