Matt Damon

Jason Bourne has become a household name and that’s all thanks to actor Matt Damon. After three box office smashes, director Paul Greengrass was not scheduled to be directing the fourth film. Damon was so loyal to Greengrass, that he gave up $26 million just to maintain the integrity of Jason Bourne and the franchise as a whole.

That being said, there have been rumors that both director and actor will be returning for the sixth Bourne film, though none have been confirmed. In the meantime, Marvel alumni, Jeremy Renner has taken on the mantle and done his best to keep the Bourne legacy alive.
