Director Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon have always been attributed as the key ingredient to the Bourne trilogy’s success; really, it’s no surprise the Jeremy Renner-fronted Legacy film failed to ignite, and even less of a surprise Universal would go sniffing around in hopes of securing the pair’s return.
“Look, here’s what I think the goal is: to keep Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass doing Bourne movies till they can’t do them anymore.”
Damon, however, seems to provide a more generous reason for his return; that it was simply because the people demanded it.
“It’s this weird thing where you can’t give them exactly the same thing, or they’ll be resentful,” Damon said.
