    Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass, who teamed for the second and third Bourne films (The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum), are in the process of cutting deals with Universal Pictures to return for a third film together in the series.

    Deadline has the report, which confirms Latino Review’s scoop from months ago that Damon would return to the titular character. Damon had always said he would not return without Greengrass, while the director had made it clear that he felt he had nowhere else to go with the character. Now, apparently, he feels differently.

    Interestingly, Universal already had a Bourne film planned for a July 16, 2016, release, though that was to have been the Jeremy Renner-starring sequel to the spin-off picture The Bourne Legacy. But now the plan reportedly is to go into production first on the Damon/Greengrass film for the 2016 date and then follow up with the Renner sequel, which is to be directed by Fast & Furious franchise stalwart Justin Lin. This will enable Lin to focus on Season 2 of HBO’s True Detective, which he is in talks for.

    It also gives Universal that most coveted of movie prizes these days: a shared universe of interconnected yet separate franchises -- the Damon Bourne and the Renner Bourne. How long until we get The Bourne Avengers?

    Oh this would be an amazing addition.

    The plot of Bourne 5 is still under wraps, but if nothing else we can expect it to involve an old friend and a new enemy. Julia Stiles is set to reunite with Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass for the film, while Viggo Mortensen is being eyed to play the villain. More on the Bourne 5 Viggo Mortensen and Julia Stiles casting after the jump.

    Deadline reports Stiles has already closed a deal to reprise her role as Nicky Parsons, a former Treadstone technician who becomes an ally and sorta-kinda love interest to Jason Bourne (Damon). She is the only character besides Bourne to appear in all three of the original Bourne trilogy films. This makes Stiles the second actor confirmed for the movie, after Damon.

    Meanwhile, TheWrap’s Jeff Sneider is reporting that Mortensen has been offered the role of the villain. Alicia Vikander was additionally up for a major role as of a few weeks ago. However, neither of them are confirmed at this time.

    Jason Bourne better steel himself for some stern, grumpy looks. Tommy Lee Jones has signed on to the next installment of the Bourne franchise, which has Paul Greengrass set to direct. He joins Matt Damon, who reprises his role as the amnesiac spy.

    I can picture it now. Bourne standing on the edge of a waterfall. I DONT REMEMBER WHO I AM.
