Variety reports that Batman will take a break from filming Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, to film a new Warner Bros. Picture called “The Accountant”.

The Accountant centers around a mild-mannered accountant who also works as a lethal assassin.

The movie was in pre-production for years with Will Smith attached to star in the production, but the movie was eventually sold to Warner Bros. after Sony was unable to find the right cast and crew for the movie. Warner Bros. planned to have Mel Gibson direct the production. But, sources reveal that Gavin O’Connor the director of ‘Warrior’ will direct the film. Earlier this month, Variety reported that Ben Affleck was in negotiations to star in the action thriller.

Mark Williams and Lynette Howell are producing the film and Drew Crevelle and Jon Gonda will executive produce on behalf of Warner Bros.

This will be Ben Affleck’s next movie following Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. His most recent feature film, Gone Girl, was a major hit in the box office making millions for several weeks.
