Matt Damon Says He’s Open To Returning As Jason Bourne

His public call for story pitches highlights that NBCUniversal has options to revive the franchise while no new film has been formally approved.

Overview

  • On Saturday, June 13, Damon told Parade he remains willing to play Jason Bourne again and invited writers and fans to pitch ideas for a new film.
  • NBCUniversal bought the film and TV rights to Robert Ludlum’s Bourne and Treadstone properties in 2025, giving the studio control over any future projects.
  • There is no greenlight yet and studio sources have not decided whether to continue Damon's storyline, recast the role, reboot the series, or expand it on television.
  • Damon’s availability could be limited by other commitments, including Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey due in July 2026, which will affect any development timeline.
  • The Bourne films have earned more than $1.64 billion worldwide and past attempts to expand the world include a 2012 spin-off and a short-lived 2019 TV series, so studios and producers will likely seek a clear creative and commercial plan before moving forward.
