LA Dodgers Star Mookie Betts Shines in Hollywood Spotlight with ‘The Accountant 2’ Promo
Mookie Betts is bringing the star power not only to the ballpark but now to Hollywood as well. The Los Angeles Dodgers standout is featured in a fun promotional clip for the upcoming thriller The Accountant 2, starring Ben Affleck, which hits theaters on April 25.
In a playful nod to Affleck’s titular role, Betts appears in the promo hyping up his own “accountant,” joking:
> “Thanks, but I’ve been working with my guy since my time in Boston.”
He doubled down with a clever caption on social media:
> “Met my guy back in Boston. Wouldn’t trade him for any other. #Accountant2 See The Accountant 2 only in theaters April 25 #ad.”
Fans were quick to react with excitement and humor, dubbing him “Hollywood Mookie” and dropping flame emojis for his cameo. Some even joked about spotting a bowling ball in the background — referencing Betts’ well-known passion for bowling.
One fan hilariously asked:
> “Is he a bowler tho? Is that a bowling ball I spy?”
Others showed love for the moment, calling it “goat tings” and praising the crossover between Betts and the action-packed Affleck sequel.
What’s The Accountant 2 About?
According to IMDb, the sequel follows Treasury Agent Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) as she reconnects with Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) after her former boss is murdered. Wolff, alongside his lethal brother Brax (Jon Bernthal), dives deep into solving the mystery — all while being hunted by ruthless killers.
A Subtle Dig at the Red Sox?
Betts’ Boston mention wasn’t just a line — it was a cheeky callback to his 2020 trade from the Red Sox to the Dodgers. The deal, which sent Betts and David Price to LA in exchange for Alex Verdugo, Jeter Downs, and Connor Wong, is still a sore point for Boston fans. Even Ben Affleck publicly criticized the trade, once saying:
> “It’s very hard for me to understand how you let Mookie Betts go.”
Since the trade, the Red Sox have stumbled, while the Dodgers secured two World Series titles with Betts as a cornerstone.
With this new crossover into movie promotion, Mookie Betts continues to prove he’s a star on and off the field —and fans are loving every second of it.
