Matt Damon has confirmed that he will star in the new Bourne film.
Following Damon’s departure from the franchise, Jeremy Renner stepped in as new character Aaron Cross for the 2012 The Bourne Legacy.
E! News recently quoted Ben Affleck as saying that Damon had inked a deal to return to the film series, leading the Jason Bourne actor to later confirm his involvement.
“[We’ll shoot it] next year. It’ll be in 2016 when the movie will actually come out.
Paul Greengrass is going to do another one and that’s all I ever said. I just needed him to say yes!”
Renner also expressed interest in teaming up with Damon for a future Bourne movie:
“I think [a team-up] really opens up the world and it keeps Bourne’s character active!”
