Jason Bourne is back, and with a vengeance if the latest television spot is to be believed. A new commercial teases the adventure of the famed CIA super operative while revealing yet another chilling aspect of Bourne’s past.
Fans of the Bourne franchise know Bourne was originally named Jason Webb, a volunteer for Operation Treadstone, which subsequently turned him into a CIA killing machine. But according to the newly released trailer, Bourne’s past is even more painful than we previously imagined. Take a look at the Jason Bourne TV spot, below:
“They said my father was killed by terrorists!” screams Bourne. “He wasn't killed by terrorists, was he?”
After taking a break from the last installment, The Bourne Legacy, actor Matt Damon will once again play Jason Bourne and join The Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum helmer, Paul Greengrass. The second and third features in the Bourne franchise defied Hollywood logic by churning out a commercially successful box office haul while also garnering rave critical reviews.
If the renewed partnership between Damon and Greengrass isn’t exciting enough, Bourne 5 will also see the return of Julia Stiles, who will reprise her role of ex-CIA agent, Nicky Parsons. This time, however, Stiles won’t play the opposite lead to Damon, but rather a supporting role as Ex-Machina star Alicia Vikander will slot into the starring female character instead. The series will also introduce Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones as a new high-ranking CIA officer.
Jason Bourne arrives in theaters July 29.
