Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) returns!

                    ...and he is back!

Actor Matt Damon confirmed that he will return to the role of Jason Bourne in 2016 after

stepping out of the spotlight for the fourth

installment of the popular action series. Damon's buddy Ben Affleck let the cat out of the

bag in a red carpet interview Friday with E! News. The two were joking about whether they treat each

other differently when one is in better shape than

the other, when Affleck (intentionally or not) let the

news slip. "Well, (Damon's) going to be doing a Bourne

movie next fall when I've just completely lost any

semblance of physical fitness. So --" Affleck told

E! News.

"Yes, next year," Damon responded to E! News

when asked for clarification. "It'll be in 2016 when the movie will actually come

out. (Director) Paul Greengrass is going to do

another one and that's all I ever said. I just needed

him to say yes." Damon played the title role of CIA assassin Jason

Bourne in the first three installments of the series

based on Robert Ludlum's popular spy novels. The

fourth movie, 2012's "The Bourne Legacy,"

centered on CIA agent Aaron Cross, played by

Jeremy Renner.
