Damon was in South Korea promoting the upcoming fifth installment in the action franchise. Matt Damon says he’s “totally fine” with a younger actor taking over the role of Jason Bourne after he’s done with the action franchise.Speaking on a promotional tour in Seoul, South Korea, Damon, who returns for the fifth installment titled Jason Bourne that’s released this summer, said he was “definitely going to be replaced some day by some new young Jason Bourne. That happens to everybody and they reboot these things, and that’s totally fine.”Damon added: “The only control I can exercise is over the ones that I’m part of. I’m the curator of them as long as I’m involved and that’s why I battled so hard to make sure that we got the same creative people to get involved in this one.”
Fourteen years since the first film, Damon said he was “very excited” to be playing Bourne again, a character that “had a huge impact on my life and career.”
