When Ben Affleck isn’t busy playing Batman — he’s reprising the Caped Crusader role in the upcoming “Justice League,” “Justice League Part Two,” and “The Batman” — he’ll be making a sequel to “The Accountant.”

Deadline.com reports that Affleck has signed on to make a follow-up to the 2016 film in which he played an autistic math whiz who uncooks the books of criminal enterprises around the world. The film, which costarred Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal, Jeffrey Tambor, and John Lithgow, was made for $44 million and grossed an impressive $155 million at the box office.
