Matt Damon Says He’s Open to Returning as Jason Bourne

His comments add momentum to a franchise now controlled by NBCUniversal though no new film has been formally greenlit.

Overview

  • Damon told Parade on Saturday that he is open to another Bourne movie and invited people to pitch story ideas to the team.
  • NBCUniversal secured the screen rights to Robert Ludlum’s Bourne and Treadstone properties in 2025 and now controls development decisions for future projects.
  • Longtime producer Frank Marshall is set to continue overseeing Bourne installments while reported creative attachments such as director Edward Berger and writer Joe Barton remain unconfirmed.
  • There is no announced script, production start date, casting or greenlight yet, and Damon's schedule includes promoting Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey next month which will affect timing.
  • The Bourne franchise includes five films plus a 2019 Treadstone TV spinoff and has grossed about $1.64 billion worldwide, giving Universal commercial incentive to develop a sequel or reboot.
