Matt Damon Talks Playing Jason Bourne Again After 9-Year Hiatus
Jason Bourne is back, looking better than ever – and Matt Damon couldn’t be happier to back in the role.
Access Hollywood caught up with the actor at the Toronto International Film Festival, where spoke about playing the deadly super spy yet again.
“It’s great to be back with Paul Greengrass directing,” Matt, who was on hand promoting his upcoming movie, “The Martian,” told Access.

Matt last appeared as the superspy (better word? I’m not a Bourne guy) in 2007’s “The Bourne Ultimatum.”
“We haven’t been on the set of a ‘Bourne’ movie in nine years, but it didn’t feel like that last week,” he continued. “We just had our first week and we kind of got back in the swing of things, it feels good.”
