When Matt Damon returned to the Jason Bourne franchise for the fifth movie, it prompted questions about a possible sixth. Will the sequel ever happen?
How can you have a Bourne movie without Jason Bourne? As a result, The Bourne Legacy is considered the worst installation in the franchise. Since The Bourne Legacy was such a fantastic flop, it's reasonable to believe that if Damon has no wish to return to the Bourne character, the franchise may have already come to a close. While the franchise has become a touchstone in the action genre, setting the base for many films that would follow, it's been a full decade since the release of The Bourne Identity. While that might not mean much to most, in the action world, it means a great deal. Considering the fact that Greengrass had already stepped back as director once for The Bourne Legacy, it's not unlikely that Universal will attempt to carry on the franchise without him. The main character is portrayed by Matt Damon in all films except The Bourne Legacy. The franchise has been subject to both critical and commercial success as The Bourne Ultimatum took home a total of three Academy Awards and both Ultimatum and Supremacy won the Empire Award for Best Film. In the era where films like John Wick rock the box-office, the Bourne franchise is a classic, but some have wondered if Universal will seize the opportunity to pursue a sequel.
