Hollywood's favorite numbers guy is back with a vengeance and, apparently, a hidden wrestling obsession! During The Accountant 2's promotional whirlwind, Ben Affleck pivoted from discussing balance sheets to body slams in a delightful curveball that left fans buzzing. The Batman-turned-math-genius dropped a bombshell of wrestling nostalgia that nobody saw coming, like finding an easter egg in tax code. His unexpected WWE revelations? Think of them as the narrative equivalent of a surprise folding chair to the conversation.

While The Accountant 2 keeps fans hooked, Ben Affleck takes an unexpected detour, transforming from number cruncher to wrestling aficionado, dropping WWE legends like a pro in the ring.

Channeling his inner fanboy on Complex's GOAT Talk, Ben Affleck transformed into a walking wrestling encyclopedia faster than Ric Flair could strut across the ring. The Oscar winner gleefully name-dropped legends including Flair himself, Roddy Piper, the patriotic Sergeant Slaughter, and the notorious Iron Sheik, basically creating a lineup of 80s wrestling legends. Affleck's childlike enthusiasm revealed the superstars who bodyslammed their way into his formative years, showcasing the actor's unexpected connection to spandex-clad glory.

Not to be outdone in this impromptu wrestling smackdown, co-star Jon Bernthal countered with his own impressive roster of ring titans. The Punisher actor flexed his wrestling cred by shouting out Junkyard Dog, Hillbilly Jim, and the cream-of-the-crop Macho Man. Bernthal then went full wrestling hipster, referencing deep-cut legends Big John Studd and Leaping Lanny Poffo, Randy Savage's enigmatic brother, hinting at backstage mysteries that would make even seasoned wrestling journalists raise an eyebrow.

‘The Accountant’ Star Ben Affleck Spills On His Harshest Movie Critics, And It’s Not Who You Think

As Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal went toe-to-toe with wrestling legends, The Accountant 2 takes the spotlight, delivering its own knockout punches with intense action and an emotionally charged family showdown.

Though devoid of powerbombs and figure-four leglocks, The Accountant 2 delivers its own brand of high-octane action. Director Gavin O'Connor's 2025 thriller sees Ben Affleck return as Christian Wolff, an autistic mathematical savant with a side hustle in face-punching, who reunites with his estranged brother (Jon Bernthal) to dismantle a human trafficking operation. A standout brawl between Daniella Pineda and Cynthia Addai-Robinson precedes an explosive Mexican shootout finale, all while exploring neurodiversity and family bonds beneath the bullet casings.

For eager viewers hunting down The Accountant 2 on Netflix, this number-crunching vigilante’s latest adventure currently exists exclusively in theaters, having debuted on April 25th. Amazon MGM Studios' distribution suggests a Prime Video release after its big-screen run, likely arriving around September-October 2025 based on typical four-to-five-month theatrical windows. Until then, fans will have to satisfy their Ben Affleck-with-advanced-combat-skills cravings the old-fashioned way, by purchasing actual movie tickets, like it is 2005 or something.
