Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne Films Arrive on Netflix as Another Bourne Movie Takes Shape

2026 has been a career year for Matt Damon, and while the first movie that comes to people's minds is The Odyssey, and rightfully so, he does have other projects this year worth noting. Back in January, Damon starred in one of the most-watched Netflix movies of the year in The Rip, which co-stars his long-time collaborator and friend Ben Affleck. The duo have been working together for over 30 years now, and they're poised to be remembered as one of the all-time great Hollywood duos by the end of their careers. Damon then reunited with Christopher Nolan for the third time in his career with the aforementioned historical epic, which is now the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. Damon is also being eyed as a heavy favorite to win Best Lead Actor for his performance as Odysseus in the film.

Matt Damon comes from the same generation of actors as Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Wahlberg, but the trio have had wildly different careers. Most would agree that DiCaprio is the best actor of the bunch, and he's also received the most awards recognition, while Wahlberg has starred in more big-budget action thrillers. However, neither star has a franchise under their belt like Jason Bourne, which may be what Damon is best remembered for at the end of his career. Damon has starred in four Jason Bourne movies that have been absent from streaming for a while now, until this week. In less than 48 hours, on October 1, all four of Damon's Jason Bourne movies are officially premiering on Netflix, where they're expected to stream for at least two or three months.

Is Matt Damon Making Another 'Jason Bourne' Movie?

Matt Damon confirmed on the press tour for The Odyssey that he's working on another Jason Bourne movie, but that the script is still being ironed out right now. At this stage in his career, Damon is less likely to just jump in and say yes to a new Jason Bourne than he was 20 years ago — now, he wants to make sure the movie is going to be good before spending the time and money making it. If the script gets up to par, though, the film could be released sometime in the next few years.
