Matt Damon Says He Would Return as Jason Bourne If Writers Deliver a Great Story

He invited fans to pitch ideas to underscore that Universal’s follow-up remains without a finished script or confirmed cast.

Overview

  • On Friday, June 12, 2026, Damon told Parade he is open to reprising Jason Bourne but only if writers produce a strong new plot.
  • Damon publicly asked fans to send ideas, framing the search for a story as the key obstacle to a new film.
  • Industry reports from November 2023 said director Edward Berger was attached to a sequel, but no script or casting has been announced since.
  • Longtime director Paul Greengrass has signaled he is ready to move on, making a returning creative team uncertain for any follow-up.
  • The franchise has continued without Damon before through a 2012 spinoff film and a TV series, so recasting or spinoffs remain plausible paths forward.
