Matt Damon's BOURNE 5 Return Pushed Back Two Weeks
Fans rejoiced when Universal announced that Matt Damon & Paul Greengrass would be returning to the Bourne franchise, but now it looks like we may have to wait just a bit longer to see Damon back on screen.
Last September, fans rejoiced when it was announced that star Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting) & director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy; The Bourne Ultimatum) would both be returning to the Bourne franchise for Damon's fourth adventure as the amnesiac ex-CIA assassin Jason Bourne. Their untitled Bourne return film, tentatively titled Bourne 5, was given the July 16, 2016 release date and effectively pushed The Bourne Legacy sequel, starring Jeremy Renner (The Avengers), back to an yet-to-be announced future date.
Now, Variety is reporting that we may have to wait just a little bit longer to see Matt Damon don the black jacket once again. Facing stiff competition from Fox's Ice Age 5 & Paramount's Star Trek 3, Universal has decided to push Damon's Bourne 5 back two weeks to July 29, 2016. This is not an uncommon release date for a Bourne film as the previous three films in the franchise have seen late July and early August releases. Bourne 5 will now open a week after Lionsgate's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers reboot and a week before WB/DC's Suicide Squad.
