Matt Damon Is Back As 'Jason Bourne' In First Official Photo & Details From BOURNE 5
Jason Bourne is back! Twelve years after he eluded certain death, Bourne has returned to a world much different than the one he left. Come check out the first official photo of his return now!
The plot of Universal's upcoming Bourne sequel, which features the return of director Paul Greengrass & franchise star Matt Damon, has been shrouded in mystery. No one knows what brings Jason Bourne back into the public eye. However, thanks to Entertainment Weekly's "First Look" feature, we have our first official photo of Damon back in action as Bourne, which you can view above.
Additionally, without revealing too much, Damon shared that when we are reintroduced to Jason Bourne a.k.a. Captain David Webb, it'll be twelve years after The Bourne Ultimatum, which was set in 2004, and that "We find him in a dark and tortured place." He also touches on the setting, which is a world not dissimilar to our own: "There’s been the financial collapse, the great recession, all these issues of cyberwarfare and civil liberties." This new complex world will serve as a backdrop for the highly anticipated sequel's story, which sees Bourne resume his quest to find answers about his tumultuous past.
