Matt Damon eager to return as Jason Bourne: We're always looking for a new story
Matt Damon has said he is open to returning for another Bourne film. His remarks suggest the makers are still searching for a fresh story for the franchise.
Actor Matt Damon has said he is still eager to reprise his role in the Bourne franchise, adding that he remains open to another film in the series. The 55-year-old said he is even willing to hear pitches for a new instalment.
In a recent interview with Parade magazine, Matt said the team behind the franchise is still trying to find a way to make another film and added, "We’re always looking to try to get another one of those because we loved it, everyone who worked on them. So there’s always some attempt going on to write, to come up with a new story. So if you have anything, let us know."
The action-thriller franchise, based on author Robert Ludlum’s novels, includes five films and a spin-off television series, 2019’s short-lived Treadstone on the USA Network. The series began with 2002’s The Bourne Identity, helmed by Doug Liman and written by Tony Gilroy and William Blake Herron.
The Bourne Identity follows a man who wakes up at sea, bullet-riddled, disoriented and unaware of his past, only to learn that he is a CIA assassin being hunted by his own peers after failing to complete his latest mission.
The first film was followed by The Bourne Supremacy (2004), The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), The Bourne Legacy (2012) and Jason Bourne (2016). Damon did not return for the fourth film, which introduced a new character played by Jeremy Renner.
Matt will next be seen in director Christopher Nolan's Odyssey (2026). The film also features Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o and Charlize Theron in key roles.
Matt had last featured in the Netflix action film The Rip (2026), alongside Ben Affleck.
