It looks like Matt Damon (The Martian) and Paul Greengrass (Captain Phillips) won't be the only familiar faces returning for Bourne 5.

Deadline is reporting that Julia Stiles (Dexter) has closed a deal to reprise her role as Nicky Parsons in Universal's next Bourne adventure. Stiles is the only cast member, outside of Damon, to appear in all three of the original Bourne trilogy films. Her character, Nicky, started out as a Treadstone technician before becoming one of Jason Bourne's most trusted allies/potential love interest throughout the course of the trilogy.

Additionally, we may also have some news on who Jason Bourne may be going up against when he returns to the big screen in 2016. Jeff Sneider of The Wrap is reporting that Viggo Mortensen (The Lord Of The Rings) has been offered the lead villain role. This latest news comes a few weeks after Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina) was rumored to be up for a part in the upcoming action sequel.

Vikander was amazing in Ex Machina. She would make a very badass villian. Need more lady adversaries

I don't know why, but I read Bourne 5 as Bond 5.

I'm very excited for this. Ultimatum alluded to some sort of relationship Nicky and Bourne (or should I say Webb), had prior to his amnesia. I would hope that they'll delve directly into this since she's returning. Also, for the love of God, no more shaky-cam fight scenes! Please Mr. Greengrass!

Bourne is my favorite spy series along with Mission Impossible; even though Legacy was a disappointment BOURNE 5 will bring the series back to prominence!

Viggo was my pick for Doctor Storm in Fantastic Four (if you've seen how the character looks in Ultimate F4 artwork you'd know why, the resemblance is uncanny) Coincidentally, Frank Storm died in a storyarc called 'Ultimatum'

and didn't there used to be this Daniel Tosh cartoon where this dude is obsessed with Viggo Mortensen, and writes fan fiction about him? lol what a loser.

If this isn't called "Bourne Again" then this movie can piss off.

There is a Bourne Legacy sequel with Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz planned. They will be doing it after the Damon movie is done. Eventually Damon and Renner will crossover in the same movie.

That's awesome! I still want that second Bourne Legacy though and that eventual crossover.

I simply love Bourne movies(not the Hawkeye one), one of the best trilogies in movie history.

These movies are absolute shit when compared to the books. Basically they took the name, the amnesia, and the CIA connection and tossed everything else. Personally I could care less if this even gets made.

Julia Stiles is the most butch chick ever next to Kristen Johnson. How she hasn't played a viking yet astonishes me.

Seeing Viggo in this film would be great. It also is great Julia will be back in this movie. You don't see Julia and Viggo in much anymore, maybe after this you will.

Some PLEASE kill off Julia Stiles. I she was good in Bourne 1-2. Her role in the third film was pointless.

@VisionaryNPA - It's crapping out sporadically when building the headline cache. It's driving me nuts 😳

The first three books were amazing and the movies really only share namesake. The moviea are entertaining on their own. David Webb was older than Matt Damon in a majority of the books so I have no problem with them continuing to make these as long as they're well written.

So, I know this is super cool news (I love the movies) but has a Bourn story ever officially made it into a comic book?
