It's the main reason why James Bond has continued for over 50 years, even with some new additions not working as well as others. Would a rebooted Bourne franchise have the same appeal? It's hard to say for sure. People currently only think of one actor when Jason Bourne comes up, so it might be hard to accustom the public into immediately accepting another actor in the role.
But there was once a time when people thought only Sean Connery could do justice to the role of James Bond, or that only Michael Keaton could play Batman. Those were fairly short-lived notions, so maybe that could be the case for Bourne if casting changes are necessary. Speaking of reboots, there's also the overarching question of whether it's worth rebooting The Bourne Identity as is. Jason Bourne was a well-defined lead in those tightly-wound first three movies because there was a satisfying arc, and the films didn't rely on too many gimmicks.
They're definitely more plot-driven than the average spy flick, so one wonders if it's possible to make another Jason Bourne movie without the story growing overly repetitious. Beyond Damon's involvement, would people want this scenario told yet again?
On the one hand, movie fans do love origin stories of all flavors, and there are universally beloved actors and actresses out there who could win audiences over, even if Matt Damon's name remained associated with the franchise. On the other hand, it's hard to tell if people are even clamoring for another Jason Bourne movie, with or without Damon.
Universal is obviously game to keep the franchise going with Treadstone and the theme park attraction, but the fans might need to speak up about what they want here.
Ultimately, there are many reasons to believe that the Bourne franchise could continue successfully with Matt Damon at the forefront. The actor is getting older, and his interest in the franchise seems to have waned significantly, but the franchise's overall success speaks to its continued appeal. Plus, investing in a new plan with a new lead would be far more of an uphill battle for Universal. But what do you guys think about it? This is between me and him.
