Jason Bourne is back and he remembers everything. After 11 years away (buying a zoo, getting stuck on Mars and whitesplaining diversity in film), Matt Damon is returning to the iconic role that turned him into an action star. The official trailer just dropped for the self-titled movie and there are plenty of new faces accompanying some familiar ones.
"Remembering everything doesn’t mean you know everything," Julia Styles warns. She jumps back into action as Nicky, the CIA agent who helped troubled assassins deal with psychological issues after participating in a secret government project called Treadstone—which Bourne was also a part of. Plot details are scarce but we’re pretty sure she’s one of the good guys.
New to the party are Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina, The Danish Girl), Vincent Cassel (Black Swan, Oceans Thirteen) and Tommy Lee Jones. If we’re going by the previous films, there’s an extreme likelihood that they will all be #TeamNotBourne since the world loves trying to kill him.
Expect to see more of your favorite things like Bourne spying on people while telling them he’s watching them, action-packed car chases where he just drives into things for kicks, and more people trying to get him to remember who he really is. But, just to make sure you know this is a brand-spanking-new film, they’re throwing in modern goodies like name dropping Edward Snowden.
Jason Bourne fights its way to theaters on July 29.
