So it would take a very talented director to bring Jason Bourne back in some way. But who?
In 2016, they got what they wanted: Jason Bourne, directed by Greengrass and starring Damon aaaaaand it bombed with critics and garnered only tepid box office.
After The Bourne Legacy — made without director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon — flopped, the world clamored for their return in a fourth film about Damon’s Jason Bourne.
Jason Bourne was so mediocre it took a franchise everyone loved and actually hurt its legacy, no pun intended.
