Speaking to MTV while promoting his new film Contagion, Matt Damon - perhaps best known for his role as Jason Bourne in the Bourne trilogy - has confirmed once and for all that he'll have nothing to do with the next Bourne film, The Bourne Legacy (starring Jeremy Renner in the lead role), debunking rumors of his possibly having a cameo in the film. He's also asked about shaving his head for Neil Blomkamp's upcoming sci-fi flick Elysium, to which he said that we should ask Blomkamp.

On the possibility of having a cameo in The Bourne Legacy...

No I have no idea about any of it. All I know is that it doesn’t preclude Paul [Greengrass] and me from doing another one of ours. No, no [you won't see me in the background of the new one]. He's got a whole other thing that they're doing and I wish them well and Tony [Gilroy's] really smart. I'm sure they're going to be great.


On his role in Elysium and having a bald head...

Ask Neil Blomkamp; he's a very visual guy and this was a part of his idea.




The Bourne Legacy hits theaters August 3rd, 2012, while Elysium arrives March 1st, 2013.

If Matt Damon is not in a Bourne movie, then it's not a Bourne movie. Simple as that.

@croniccris Tom Cruise is still Ethan Hunt, Renner is just another spy in MI4.

@croniccris Renner is someone different in the movie but has a connection to Jason Bourne.
