On that partly ambiguous note, it would seem only prudent that Jason Bourne be brought out from the shadows one last time. Interestingly enough, ‘ Jason Bourne’ ended on exactly the note that the makers wanted, something that is perfectly encompassed in this Variety review of the film, stating that “the sequel offers closure even as it entices us with the possibility of his return”. On the other hand, remarkably all of them, despite the film not bearing as impressive dividends closer home, have been positive of a sequel that would finally close out Bourne’s story. Read on.īoth the makers and Damon, the headlining star have been pretty clear that they won’t return for a fifth outing with the character and the sixth film overall if they did not have a good story to tell in the first place. Moving forward, even as there are no official announcements yet, here is everything we seemingly know to gauge whether a ‘Bourne’ sequel would be happening in the first place or not. With the fifth film in the franchise, the faith with the makers and Damon himself dwindled as the numbers closer home weren’t exactly knocks-out-of-the-park, but despite that, everybody involved including ‘ The Martian’ star look hopeful for a sequel. Since then, the genre has clearly lasted more than a decade to deliver an original trilogy with ‘Identity’, ‘Supremacy’ and ‘Ultimatum’ with Matt Damon, a spin-off starring Jeremy Renner as black ops agent Aaron Cross, and then back to Damon with the 2016 epilogue of sorts, ‘Jason Bourne’, each of them to varying degrees of critical success even as the commercial aspects of the franchise look only stronger, considering that the series has grossed more than $1.6 Billion at the global box office. The much acclaimed chase scene in Paris, and the numerous hand to hand fight sequences with cuts every second that all but changed the game for action movies really prove what I am trying to say.
