The actor also connected it to how his character will approach the new perspective, especially after what happened in the final moments of "Bourne Ultimatum." He said, "We talked a lot about what state he should be in, and where we came to was that if you found him fat and happy and content, you don't really have a movie. So we talked about how at the end of 'Bourne Ultimatum,' he gets his memory back and it kind of completed that identity journey for him. But does that complete things for the character or not? And the conclusion we came to is no—we find him in a very dark and tortured place."
Along with Damon's return to the franchise, it was announced that a new face will be introduced in the upcoming installment. It was revealed that Alicia Vikander will be joining the movie as the female lead. During an interview, Vikander explained that her character will be driven by action. However, she did not elaborate further on the matter.
Tommy Lee Jones is also expected to take on a role in the upcoming film, alonside Scott Shepherd. It was stated that they will be playing roles related to the CIA.
"Bourne 5" is expected to hit theaters this Jul. 29, 2016.
