With Hugh Jackman hanging up his claws as Wolverine, it’s time to consider what will happen with another hero from the early 2000s – Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne.

And if you ask him, he’s still not sure.

“It would have to be a pretty incredible story to get us all back on the horse,” Damon told the Sun in a recent interview.

The Great Wall star first appeared as the Treadstone agent in 2002’s The Bourne Identity. After 2007’s, The Bourne Ultimatum, the series had a soft reboot in 2012’s prequel/sequel The Bourne Legacy, with Jeremy Renner.

The original Bourne character was resurrected in last year’s Jason Bourne, but it grossed less than Ultimatum.

“This last one didn’t do as well as the one we did 10 years ago, so maybe people are done with the character,” Damon said.

But he’s leaving the door open a crack for a sixth – and possibly – final film.

“Look we all love working together and those movies are a lot of fun to make so we sure would be happy to do it,” he said. “If we can figure out a good story.”

Bourne producer Frank Marshall is certainly optimistic another film with Damon and director Paul Greengrass will happen.

“I think everybody is leaving the door open, as we did at the end of this movie, in hopes that we can come up with an intriguing story for the next one,” he said.
