Academy Award-winner Tommy Lee Jones (Men In Black; Captain America: The First Avenger) has officially signed on to face-off with Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting) in the upcoming fifth installment of the Bourne franchise. Details on the film's plot are still scarce, but Variety reports that Jones is set to play a high-ranking officer at the CIA, a role akin to ones played by Edward Norton, Chris Cooper, Brian Cox, and David Strathairn in previous installments. 

In addition to Damon, director Paul Greengrass (Captain Phillips) is back to helm his third Bourne film and longtime co-star Julia Stiles (Dexter) is also returning for her fourth adventure. Along with Jones, Alicia Vikander (The Man From U.N.C.L.E.) has been confirmed to be joining the franchise and it's been rumored that Viggo Mortensen (The Lord Of The Rings) is in line for a villainous role. Greengrass and frequent collaborator Christopher Rouse are currently in the process of co-writing the script. Production is expected to start later this summer.

What do you guys think of Jones' addition? Sound off with your thoughts below!

Very nice! Really excited for Bourne 5!!!

I didn't care for Bourne Legacy that much. Jeremy Renner did a great job, but the story was lacking.

Cool beans. But FFS Greengrass, keep that [frick]ing shakey cam out of it. I like my Bourne movies when I can actually see what the hell is going on. Yes, I'm looking at you Bourne Supremacy.

actually getting sick and tired of the rogue agency within the government storyline which seems to be the prevailing plotlines of all these bourne movies.

i wish they'd change it up a little and have an actual good CIA group recruit bourne into taking down an outside bad group of people for once.

All of these movies are the same crap every time. I don't know who would want to watch someone crap for a fifth time and I don't even know how these movies are popular. Get Michael Bay to direct one and add some Transformers or something to these snooze fests.

I swore off this franchise after it ended with Ultimatum (PERFECT ending to the trilogy...never even bothered with the Jeremy Renner one), but dammit if they're not trying their hardest to get me back into it.

Matt Damon, Paul Greengrass, Julia Stiles - all returning. And now Tommy [frick]ing Lee Jones? Well played.

Why is there a picture of Mark Walberg up there instead of Matt Damon?
