Matt Damon has revealed that he he open to returning to his popular role as Jason Bourne if Paul Greengrass returns as director.

Damon teamed up with Greengrass in three Bourne movies, most recently The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), but the pair have denied repeated rumours that they will return to the franchise.

However, during an interview with CNBC, the actor started tongues wagging by commenting:

“We’ve just never been able to come up with a story. So, if any of your viewers have a story, please call Universal and submit it.

It felt like such a good way to end it the last time, but having said that I love that character…and I’d love to see what happened to him. Because technically, the movie that came out in 2007 dovetailed with the one that came out in 2004, so technically the last time Jason Bourne was seen was 2004.”
