Choosing Jason Bourne Over Assassin’s Creed
When Alicia Vikander was offered the role of Sofia in Assassin’s Creed (2016) at the same time as the role of Heather in Jason Bourne, she chose the latter due to her fondness for the Bourne series, while Marion Cotillard was cast as Sofia.
Matt Damon’s Return as Jason Bourne
When “Jason Bourne” premiered in London on July 11, 2016, Matt Damon, born on October 8, 1970, was 45 years old.
During the filming of “Jason Bourne,” Matt Damon revealed that training for the role was more challenging in his forties, and he had to follow a strict diet to maintain his physique.
In the film, he reprised his role as the titular character, Jason Bourne, a former CIA operative brought out of hiding to uncover more secrets about his past.
