The Bourne Legacy
During summer movie time of year 2015 we ’ve already seen role player Jeremy Renner as super - spy / archer Hawkeye in Marvel’sAvengers : Age of Ultron- and will next see him this weekend ( at the time of writing this ) when he reprises his part as IMF Agent Brandt alongside Tom Curise ’s Ethan Hunt , inMission : Impossible - Rogue Nation .
Of course , there is a third crack undercover agent lineament Renner plays : Aaron Cross , lead character of the Jason Bourne spinoff filmThe Bourne Legacy . While we were in NYC to blab with Renner aboutM : I5,we also bechance to touch on the subject of where theBournefilms stand , and whether or not we ’ll ever get to the mean solar day where he and Matt Damon share the silver screen ( and/or go toe - to - toe ) as Aaron Cross and Jason Bourne , respectively .
The first thing I require to ask you about is something I ’ve kind of dubbed the Jeremey Renner action bender … is there some point in the yr that you ’ve just acquire to cut off this epinephrine and kinda get it out before kinda relaxing a little bite more ?
Jeremy Renner : I retrieve it has to do with [ laughs ] trunk ; to let my body take a break . Sometimes … yeah . I just think it ’s the … it ’s what my body can take . I do n’t want to run at 100 miles an hour all year long ; just like , you know , for a arcminute .
I sleep with fans are going to want to know about your third super spy type fromThe Bourne Legacy . We know thatBourne 5is come with Matt Damon ’s eccentric . But buff have long talk about there being coaction between the two of you and mixing these characters up . Is that still something that ’s on your mind ?
Jeremy Renner : Yeah , I mean in two second . I love that universe . I have a go at it the character . If they want to do that , I ’m in . there ’s no ‘ no ’ coming from this direction . I do n’t pull the bowed stringed instrument on that …
Unless the dead body ca n’t wield it .
Jeremy Renner : No . The body will be able to manage that . [ express joy ]
Renner is being polite when saying he does n’t pull string on what happens in theBournefranchise , given what take place withBourne 5.fans with longsighted store know that after the somewhat lukewarm response ( at least domestically ) toBourne Legacy , Bourne 5was still design to keep with Renner ’s Aaron Crossin the booster cable , under the helm ofFast and Furiousfranchise director , Justin Lin . That script ( literally ? ) got flipped when theBourne Supremacy / Bourne Ultimatumteam of director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon came roaring back into the picture , locking downBourne 5as a Jason Bourne history only .
harmonise to manufacturer Frank Marshall , theBourneuniverse will get a two - pronged approach , andtheBourne Legacysequel is still in development- though no solid date of release or molding / crew have been decided on yet . Meanwhile , Bourne 5has picked up a 2016 release date , and a cast that now include Damon , Julia Stiles , Tommy Lee Jones , Ex Machina ’s Alicia Vikander andpossibly Viggo Mortensen as the baddie .
WhileBournefilm writer Tony Gilroy was n’t as proficient in craft theBourne Legacyinto a competent or well - represent spinoff , Renner ’s Aaron Cross was , in the main speaking , a character who pull in his way into being a major dealership thespian . hoi polloi would like to see how the Aaron Cross wing of theBournesaga cover to stretch out - and theydefinitelywant to see what happens when the Jason / Aaron thread ( and all the accompany put up characters , like Stiles , Ed Norton , David Strathairn , Joan Allen or Rachel Weisz ) all come break up together .
So while a Damon - ledBourne 5with Greengrass is good news for fan - Renner ( and his body ) are still hold off in the wings , a dangling screw thread needing to be tied off , at some point .
