The opening of the American action thriller "Jason Bourne" on July 29, 2016, experienced relative success - and the fans are asking for more. Discussions about a future sequel are already in full swing and rumors have already circulated about a possible encounter between Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) and Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner).

Putting the two protagonists in one "Bourne" movie seemed like a legendary blockbuster in the making. Given that both of them are being tormented by the same rogue CIA cell, the two fugitives are bound to meet sooner or later.

In an article circulated by Movie News Guide, there is a strong (albeit remote) possibility that Aaron Cross will return as the worthy nemesis of Jason Bourne. Another theory also suggests that both protagonists will team up and destroy a new high-profile villain. Either of the options could push the "Bourne" narrative to the next level.

Unfortunately, another latest report by Cinema Blend belies the juicy speculation. The story underscores Matt Damon's reservations for creating or participating in future "Bourne" sequels given his pending commitment with the upcoming fantasy "The Great Wall" and a drama titled "Manchester by the Sea".

Given this fact, there are no official statements from "Bourne" creators. It seemed a little too early to discuss an upcoming sequel.

Just like Matt Damon, Jeremy Renner also has a number of films lined up for him. He will reprise his role as Hawkeye in a two-episode Marvel film "Avengers: Infinity Wars".

Curiously, some speculations even went beyond the theoretical Damon-Renner tandem. Some rumors even discussed future films featuring other works of "Bourne" novelist Robert Ludlum.

In this same cinematic universe, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is one of the potential actors decked for a future espionage role. Only time will tell whether this project will be mixed in the "Bourne" sequels or will stand on its own.
