Plans for a fourth "Bourne" movie stalled late last year when director Paul Greengrass walked away from the franchise and star Matt Damon followed, stating he wouldn't do the sequel with anybody else. But the actor remained hopeful of his participation in the series, telling MTV News in December, "I think it's going to happen someday."
Damon continues to see himself in the role, more recently telling Empire that he and Greengrass are "probably another five years away" from the next chapter. But the next installment may be another thing entirely. Damon believes Universal will keep the franchise alive in the meantime with a feature-length flashback.
"There’ll probably be a prequel of some kind with another actor and another director before we do another one,” he told the British magazine while promoting the UK release of "Invictus."
What such a prequel would consist of is now something for us "Bourne" fans to wonder about.
