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.
