Matt Damon won't pop up in 'Bourne Legacy,' but may want to play the spy again
Despite some lingering rumors, Matt Damon won't be popping up in the upcoming "Bourne Legacy," starring Jeremy Renner.
Damon, who played Jason Bourne in three hit films (two directed by Paul Greengrass) confirmed to MTV that he won't be doing any sort of cameo in the film, although he respects writer-director Tony Gilroy and is sure the final product will be "great."
Damon also teased fans by adding "All I know is that ("The Bourne Legacy") doesn't preclude Paul (Greengrass) and me from doing another one of ours."
Meanwhile, Damon has the all-star disease drama "Contagion" opening this weekend, and is currently busy with "Elysium," with "District 9" director Neil Blomkamp.
