Matt Damon is keen to reprise one of his most famous roles as Jason Bourne in a future movie. The Hollywood star, who is garnering praise for his role in `Oppenheimer,` has done four movies in the Robert Ludlum-written espionage series and last appeared in 2016`s `Jason Bourne.`
In an appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert“, Damon, 53, confirmed that director Edward Berger, best known for `All Quiet on the Western Front,` is working on a new story.
“There is a great director named Edward Berger,” Damon said. “(`All Quiet on the Western Front`) is a fantastic film, and he`s wonderful and he said he had an idea. I would love to work with him, so he`s working on it. Look, I`m as anxious as you are to see if this thing (happens) ” I hope it`s great and that we can do it.” The actor, however, is open to handing over the baton to a different actor in the near future.
“At a certain point somebody is going to need to take it over,” he said. “I`m not getting any younger,” he said. Damon next stars in Netflix thriller `Animals,` which will be directed by friend and collaborator Ben Affleck. They will produce it through their production company, Artists Equity.
The actor first played the titular character of a CIA assassin in 2002 film `The Bourne Identity` and followed it up with ` The Bourne Supremacy` in 2004, “The Bourne Ultimatum” in 2007 and `Jason Bourne` in 2016.
