Matt Damon Confirms Work on Tricky New Jason Bourne Movie


Just as The Odyssey makes landfall, star Matt Damon has offered an update on his new Jason Bourne movie with Conclave and All Quiet on the Western Front director Edward Berger.

The actor touched on the future of his beloved action hero during a conversation on ESPN’s The Rich Eisen Show. In between working with Christopher Nolan and teasing another Oceans movie, he said he’s been working with Berger to revisit the Bourne franchise.

“There’s a great director named Ed Berger – he did All Quiet on the Western Front,” Damon said. “He’s a wonderful director, and we’re talking about it,” Damon said. “We’re just trying to figure it out. We’re trying to nail the story down because I’d love to do it. It’s just that thing where, if we do it, we want it to be like the first three.”

Damon hasn’t exactly had too much free time to make Jason Bourne his priority. This weekend, he helped launch Nolan’s The Odyssey, which he stars in as Odysseus. He also showed up in 2023’s Oppenheimer and was featured in prominent roles in projects like Ford v Ferrari, The Last Duel, Air, and The Rip.

While the next Jason Bourne movie comes together, you can read IGN’s 7/10 review for the 2016 installment. We praised the movie at the time but said it failed “to hit the dizzying height of films 1-3.”
