Vincent Cassel Set To Hunt Down Matt Damon In BOURNE 5
Following the news that filming on the Bourne sequel is set to begin this week, it's now been revealed that Black Swan star Vincent Cassel has joined the film's cast as a new thorn in Jason Bourne's side.
Talented French actor Vincent Cassel has joined the cast of the untitled fifth Bourne movie. According to Variety, Cassel is set to play a villainous role in the action sequel. Sources claim the Ocean's Twelve star will be an assassin hunting down Matt Damon's elusive Jason Bourne - in the vein of characters portrayed by the likes of Clive Owen and Karl Urban in the original trilogy.
Cassel joins an already impressive cast, which includes Tommy Lee Jones and Alicia Vikander, alongside franchise veterans Damon and Julia Stiles. The Bourne Supremacy/Ultimatum director Paul Greengrass is back at the helm once again as well. Damon recently claimed this sequel would be set in a "post-Snowden world", and revealed that filming starts this week in Greece.
The original Bourne trilogy was immensely popular with both fans and critics alike, raking in almost $1 billion at the global box office. Comparitvely, 2012's Jeremy Renner-led The Bourne Legacy was more modestlyreceived, with some viewers bemoaning the lack of Damon's iconic action hero. With both Damon and Greengrass back on board, and a cast like this in place, could Bourne 5 match up to the first three films? Leave us your thoughts in the comments below!
The untitled Bourne sequel is set to hit theatres July 29, 2016.
