Stories and proof of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s marital struggles maintain getting louder. In accordance to the most recent in Persons, Affleck previously moved his things out their residence (which they’re providing) a number of weeks in the past. Not sounding too great over there, but really do not be concerned — a supply mentioned he “seems all right.” That supply also additional that Affleck has “been at his workplace every single working day and seems focused on perform.” That is been the line from Affleck sources considering the fact that this saga started: Affleck isn’t drifting aside from his wife, he’s just been doing the job. On what? The Accountant 2, the sequel to his 2016 action film about an accountant caught in the dealings of terrorist teams.
When Affleck was not by his wife’s side at the 2024 Achieved Gala, which she co-chaired, a rep explained he was stuck in Los Angeles taking pictures The Accountant 2. When we discovered out Affleck was dwelling aside from Lopez in Brentwood, Individuals implied he was only there “while filming his motion picture The Accountant 2.” And when Affleck was absent from the crimson carpet for Lopez’s Netflix movie Atlas, the moment once more, The Accountant 2 was the perpetrator. Lopez later reported she desired “to be with her children, loved ones, and close friends” when she canceled her improperly selling environment tour, but Affleck kept trucking ideal alongside on The Accountant 2. I know what you are pondering, and I agree: This motion picture much better be fucking good!
Now, I individually am not acquainted with the Accountant Cinematic Universe. I like an motion motion picture, but I do not want to look at 1 about an accountant and particularly not 1 where by Ben Affleck, uhhh, performs a character on the autism spectrum. (Lots of people evidently did — The Accountant attained $155 million and is possibly airing on TNT sometime this 7 days.) Vulture’s individual review stated The Accountant was “enjoyable sufficient,” which does not precisely promote me. But if Affleck has been working so difficult on the sequel that it drives a wedge in his star-crossed relationship, you can guess I’ll be seated for it.
Guaranteed, there’s a opportunity Affleck hasn’t actually been laser-focused on The Accountant 2 simply because he’s having relationship problems, and this could just conclude up becoming a mid action flick marred by off-display difficulties. And that could nevertheless be entertaining as well. But till explained to normally, I’m relying on Affleck and the group to supply an absolute stunner. And if Bennifer is contacting up two accountants of their possess, then the movie better be truly worth it.
