“Jason Bourne” marks the fifth film in the franchise, the fourth for Damon, and the third for director Paul Greengrass. “I love that Paul Greengrass and Matt and the rest of the people behind these films that always wanted to push to make sure that there’s issues and elements that could be social political, um, to be kind of integrated in this, um, fictional world that makes it nearly feel like it’s relatable to ours”, Vikander said.

Matt Damon: “The one with Richard Chamberlain?”
“I’ll never say never”.
Matt Damon, who has worked on more than 15 films in the past five years, announced on Thursday (July 28, 2016) that he’ll be taking a short acting break next year to spend time with his family.
Timely? You bet, but this layer isn’t explored as deeply as it could be, even as Bourne catches up with a whistleblower who is “worse than Snowden”.
And, now, Damon is stepping back in (not sure where that leaves Agent Cross).
“I did three movies where we specifically avoided [it]”.
“When I had kids, I found that the emotional reservoir was much more accessible and much more close to the surface”, he adds, in response to whether being a father has affected him as an actor. “I remember everything.” Except this time, Bourne – who’s been underground fighting in Greece since then – gets reminded of his daddy issue, which gets worse when he realizes his dad’s fiery death wasn’t a terrorist attack but a government-sanctioned rubout.
Chris Van Vliet: “So I recently re-watched the original movie, and it was wonderful to me”. Didn’t one of them star Hawkeye?
A fan-favourite spy series returned to cinema screens this week, as a 10-year wait for answers is finally over. “I need to talk”. “I don’t know if it would help me in a real fight”.

Chris Van Vliet: “After the last movie that you did, you said you weren’t interested in playing Jason Bourne again”. A more affordable, less charismatic actor was secured for one underperforming installment before the original guy was coaxed back for a much-ballyhooed homecoming sequel set largely in Las Vegas. I didn’t love “The Bourne Legacy” with Jeremy Renner, but I also didn’t hate it by any means. “He’s definitely going to make a couple of other films first, so we’ll do what we did last time”.
