Jason Bourne is set to return for another round of heart-stopping action in Bourne 5. 'Bridge of Spies' actor Scott Shepherd was recently confirm for the film, while Matt Damon revealed that Bourne will have his memory back upon his return.
Filming is currently underway for the project with Matt Damon back as Jason Bourne for the fourth time in the franchise. Moreover, as reported by Variety, Scott Shepherd was also recently confirmed to star along with Damon in a currently officially undisclosed role, although a source tipped that Shepherd will be playing as the deputy director of the CIA.
Bourne 5's official plot is also currently under wraps but as cited by Movie News Guide, Damon hinted that Jason Bourne will no longer be an amnesiac as he will be able to retrieve his memories in the upcoming film.
"[Bourne] has his memory back, but that doesn't mean he knows everything. It's 12 years since Jason Bourne has been on the grid. So we have to answer the questions, Where's he been? What's he doing? What gets him going again? So once we solved all that, then we had a movie", Damon said.
Furthermore as reported by Cinemablend, Damon also addressed talks about Bourne 6 and while he did not dismiss the idea, he asserted on working on one project at a time. "I always just did one at a time. Even on the first one, they suggested me signing up for three, [but] I didn't know if I was going to like making action movies", Damon said. He further added that he doesn't want to be tied to a project and not have the freedom to 'get away'.
The currently untitled fifth installment in the franchise, which is currently being referred to as Bourne 5 will see the return of Julia Stiles as Nicky Parsons. Alicia Vikander, Tommy Lee Jones, Vincent Cassell, Ato Essandoh are also set to appear among many others. It is expected to hit theaters on July 29, 2016.
