Mexican-American actress Daniella Pineda, who continues to make waves in Hollywood, has joined the cast of 'The Accountant 2,' the highly anticipated sequel starring Ben Affleck.

Born on February 20, 1987, in Oakland, California, Pineda has showcased her versatility across film and television, transitioning from battling dinosaurs to unraveling financial mysteries in major productions.

She started her career in online comedy, appearing in CollegeHumor sketches, before making her TV debut in TNT's 'Men of a Certain Age.'

Her film debut came with 'Newlyweds' (2011), but she gained widespread recognition for her role in 'The Originals' (2013-2014). She later starred Netflix's 'Cowboy Bebop' and 2018's 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' and its sequel 'Jurassic World Dominion' in 2022.

Pineda holds a degree in sociology and broadcast journalism from Mills College, a background that enriches her acting approach.

A promising collaboration with Ben Affleck

Affleck, known for his versatility as an actor and director, teams up with Pineda in what promises to be an electrifying on-screen partnership.

With a growing list of high-profile projects, Pineda continues to prove her ability to navigate different genres and formats. Her experience in blockbuster franchises like 'Jurassic World' makes her a strong addition to the sequel.

Pineda's role in 'The Accountant 2'

The film, a follow-up to the 2016 action thriller, reunites Affleck with director Gavin O'Connor. The story follows Christian Wolff (Affleck), a brilliant yet unconventional mathematician who works for criminal and terrorist organizations, as he becomes entangled in a new mystery.

Pineda joins a star-studded cast, including returning cast members Jon Bernthal as Christian's brother Brax, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, and J.K. Simmons.

This time, the plot revolves around the murder of Medina's superior, leading her to seek Wolff's help. Alongside Brax, they face relentless assassins while uncovering the truth.

Produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Artists Equity, 'The Accountant 2' is written by screenwriter of the original, Bill Dubuque.

The sequel marks Affleck's return to the role nearly a decade after the original film, promising deeper exploration of Christian Wolff's psyche and his complex family ties.

The first installment was a box office hit, grossing over $155 million worldwide. The upcoming sequel aims to expand the film's universe, blending action, suspense, and family drama.
