How did I miss this news?? I'm happy he'll be back, along with Greengrass, but I did really like Jeremy Renner as Aaron Cross so I hope it's true that his Bourne movie has only been pushed back and won't interfere with his Marvel commitments.
A couple of months ago
, it was reported that Damon would once again portray the super-spy in Bourne 5, with his old friend Paul Greengrass back in the director’s chair. The caveat there was that the duo was “in talks,” meaning that things could have theoretically fallen through, but that’s not the case. Damon has now confirmed he will be back.
There’s long been speculation that the developing Bourne Legacy sequel – which has Justin Lin (Fast and the Furious 3-6) attached to direct – could team up Jeremy Renner’s Aaron Cross and Damon’s Bourne on a new adventure, but it doesn’t sound as though that’s the plan with Bourne 5. Details are scarce at the moment, but Deadline is reporting that Universal is pushing for this project to begin production in the first half of 2015 – and thus, be ready in time to take the 2016 release date that was previously reserved for Lin’s Bourne spinoff/sequel (with the latter being moved to another day).

It will be interesting to see where they take the franchise. I thought the last Damon movie was a good finish.
Warning: the books are totally different.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.

Looks entertaining but isn't grabbing me with any thrilling plot. Meh, hope it turns out better.
