Franchise actor Matt Damon has dished some interesting details on what fans can expect in the forthcoming movie "Bourne 5." The actor revealed that his character would get his memory back in his return to the popular action franchise.
After missing the fourth franchise, "The Bourne Legacy," Damon is back to reprise his role of Jason Bourne once again. Despite not spilling too many details about the movie, he did give a clue to where the film's story will be heading.
The 44-year-old actor told the New York Daily News that his character has retrieved back his memories. Damon also said that Bourne "still has a lot of questions that need answering." And although his memories are back, it "doesn't mean he knows everything."
It is worth noting that in the film, Jason Bourne has been on the grid for almost 12 years. It is why the actor mentioned to the publication that the upcoming fifth installment has a lot of questions to answer, and "once we solved all that, then we had a movie."
Comic Book, on the other hand, reported that the film will deal with "post-Snowden" themes. It will reportedly allude to Edward Snowden, who is a former CIA employee and government contractor. In the film, Snowden was known to leak classified information from the U.S. National Security Agency.
/Film added that the movie should begin in Greece and end in Las Vegas. However, there will likely be pit stops in between. Sin City should be an interesting place for the movie to have its finale.
Joining Damon is "The Bourne Ultimatum" director Paul Greengrass, along Tommy Lee Jones as a high-ranking CIA officer. Alicia Vikander will also reportedly join the film as the female lead, while Vincent Cassel will take the role of the villain.
The franchise's fans will once again see Jason in action, as he gets his memory back. And although they now have knowledge to what they can expect in "Bourne 5," the waiting game continues, as the film has yet to have an official release date.
