Matt Damon has given an update on the long-awaited sixth Jason Bourne film, saying he is working with Conclave director Edward Berger to develop the story but that no final version has been locked down yet. Speaking on ESPN's The Rich Eisen Show, Damon said he would only want to make the film if it could match the quality of the original trilogy, underscoring the pressure on a franchise that has been dormant for a decade. The update matters to fans because it suggests renewed momentum after years of uncertainty about whether Damon would return.

Damon has played Bourne in The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) and Jason Bourne (2016), sitting out only The Bourne Legacy, which starred Jeremy Renner. Talk of a revival began in 2023 with Berger attached, and Universal acquired the franchise rights in 2025, though a new film has yet to materialise. Damon acknowledged the difficulty of continuing a linear story rather than a self-contained format like James Bond, saying the team believes it has "a line of sight" on how to balance familiar elements with fresh material.
