While most people associate the name of Jason Bourne and the resulting franchise with Damon, he has not starred in every single Bourne film. It will be interesting to see a director who specializes in real-life dramatizations take on a fantasy project. The novel's storyline involves an intrepid teenager with a troubled family life, a magical but dangerous alternate reality, and a battle of good and evil. Speaking of Greengrass, we do know he is now set to direct an adaptation of Stephen King's epic Fairy Tale. However, that may prove to be more difficult than previously anticipated, considering how key, per Inverse, the creative chemistry between Damon and Greengrass has been to the franchise's success. Considering the fact that Greengrass had already stepped back as director once for The Bourne Legacy, it's not unlikely that Universal will attempt to carry on the franchise without him. While Greengrass has admitted that he would like to see a Jason Bourne sequel, he has doubts about whether he will have any involvement in the project. The pair have enjoyed working together, with Greengrass admiring Damon's dedication to the role, while Damon has often sung Greengrass' praises when it comes to his approach to the Bourne franchise. Paul Greengrass worked alongside Matt Damon for The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum and most recently Jason Bourne.

While Matt Damon is not nearly as old as Sylvester Stallone, this change of pace for Jason Bourne could be a potentially good direction for Universal to take the franchise. With this, the Rocky franchise has still been allowed to continue with Rocky's role being changed from a main player to a mentor. Much like how Sylvester Stallone retired his Rocky character from the Rocky franchise in favor of the young Adonis in Creed. However, Universal could take Bourne out of the main action and make him more of a teacher to a younger generation. This could mean the end is in sight for the Bourne franchise. Jason Bourne, as skilled as he is, is not as young as he used to be and physically may not be as capable as he once was. While that might not mean much to most, in the action world, it means a great deal. While the franchise has become a touchstone in the action genre, setting the base for many films that would follow, it's been a full decade since the release of The Bourne Identity.
