IGN:"Tony Gilroy, the writer-director of The Bourne Legacy, recently stated that neither Matt Damon nor his character Jason Bourne will be back for the sequel; instead the series' fourth installment will follow an entirely new protagonist. So with that in mind, IGN's cooked up a list of young actors that we think would make good successors to Damon's Bourne (or, in the case of one sure to be very controversial inclusion, an actor IGN strongly suspect will be on the studio's short list of replacements). Here are IGN's picks in alphabetical order."
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
So....How is it a Bourne film without Jason Bourne? I'm still not able to wrap my head around that one. It seems odd, and at this point why not call it something else and have it be the start of a new series instead of the 4th in a franchise?
Absolutely love Chris Pine these days and think he would do a great job, but he kind of looks like Matt Damon, and that's something the studios might not want because some might think he's just replacing Damon as Bourne instead of being an all new character.
Taylor Lautner is laughable for it. Other than that I think there's a great list here. I wouldn't want Pine or Tom Hardy, mostly because I want Pine to be free for Star Trek 2, and I'm still holding out hope that Mad Max will be filming soon so Hardy needs to stay ready.
To be honest I always saw these films as like a knock off of Mission Impossible, not really more to it than that. I enjoyed them none the less, but they could be better to say the least. I think a new character and new cast is something the franchise really needed. While it seems like a mistake now, and I know alot of people wont give it a chance anymore, it may come out to be something good.
You have to remember the movie isn't about the actor, its about the character.
