Tony Gilroy, co-screenwriter of the first three films, sought to continue the story of the film series without changing its key events, and parts of The Bourne Legacy take place at the same time as the previous film, The Bourne Ultimatum (2007). Bourne is shown in pictures and mentioned by name several times throughout the film. The titular character Jason Bourne does not appear in The Bourne Legacy, as actor Matt Damon chose not to return for the fourth film, due to Paul Greengrass not directing. In addition to Renner, the film stars Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton. The film centers on black ops agent Aaron Cross (portrayed by Jeremy Renner), an original character. So, does that mean we'll eventually get Jason Bourne 6? Maybe, but director Paul Greengrass won't be the one helming it.The Bourne Legacy is a 2012 American action-thriller film directed by Tony Gilroy, and is the fourth installment in the series of films adapted from the Jason Bourne novels originated by Robert Ludlum and continued by Eric Van Lustbader, being preceded by The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007). 2016's Jason Bourne wasn't as well-received by critics, but the $415 million it made at the box office means Universal was always going to be interested in more Bourne. That follow-up saw Bourne come out of hiding to uncover a secret about his father's role in his CIA training, while obviously being hunted by the agency. This time, Jeremy Renner took the lead of the franchise as Aaron Cross after Damon declined an offer to return - though he didn't stay away from the role for too long, eventually coming back to the role in 2016 for Jason Bourne. But Universal Pictures obviously wanted to continue the franchise, following up Ultimatum in 2012 with The Bourne Legacy. With The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, the series seemed like the perfect trilogy.
The Bourne Identity and its subsequent sequels quickly became a new benchmark for action films due to their impressive dedication to practical stunts and effects ( that pencil moment in Identity is still wince-inducing) alongside a compelling mystery that had Bourne at its center.
With Matt Damon starring as its titular hero, the franchise introduced a new breed of super-spy, and viewers couldn't get enough.
The Bourne film series proved to be hugely popular in the early 2000s with the arrival of The Bourne Identity, based on Robert Ludlum's book of the same name.
