Tommy Lee Jones has agreed to star in the upcoming fifth entry into the Bourne franchise. While, Bourne 5 doesn’t have an official title, it will be released in April, 2016.
Along with Tommy Lee Jones and Matt Damon, reprising his role as Jason Bourne, the fifth entry will be directed by Paul Greengrass, who sent the original three films to another level with The Bourne Supremacy and Ultimatum. It will also star Ex Machina‘s Alicia Vikander, Viggo Mortensen, and Julia Stiles back in her supporting role as Nicky Parsons.
According to the report in Variety, Tommy Lee Jones will play a CIA agent, in a role probably similar to the ones embodied by Bryan Cox, David Strathairn, and Chris Cooper in the earlier films. Ed Norton starred as a CIA op in The Bourne Legacy, but let’s forget about that film. Most have.
