CONFIRMED: Jeremy Renner Cast In The Bourne Legacy

Rumors have been going around the net for a few weeks about who will be in the new Bourne film. The wild ideas of casting an unknown as the new agent or going with Oscar Issac (Sucker Punch). Then came the best idea/rumor with getting Jeremy Renner to star. 

Confirmed: Jeremy Renner has been attached to be main character in the new Bourne film The Bourne Legacy. 

The film will "steal" its name from the fourth book in the series, but will not have anything to do with the story. The film will not be a prequel, reboot, or sequel to the matt damon films. It will simply just follow another hero in a stand-alone film. 

Renner will film The Bourne Legacy after he finishes The Avengers later this year

Matt Damon Not Returning For The Bourne Legacy

Hollywood Elsewhere talked to the new director/writer Tony Gilroy (Michael Clayton,Duplicity) about his upcoming film The Bourne Legacy.

He told them that they took the title from a book in the series and they will not use the story.

"This is not a reboot or a recast or a prequel. No one's replacing Matt Damon. There will be a whole new hero, a whole new chapter...this is a stand-alone project," said Gilroy.

He went into greater depth of the subject and continued with "Jason Bourne will not be in this film, but he's very much alive. What happened in the first three films is the trigger for what happens. I'm building a legend and an environment and a wider conspiracy... the world we're making enhances and advances and invites Jason Bourne's return [down the road]."

So we could end up seeing Jason Bourne in later Bourne films.

No release date set yet
