Producer Frank Marshall, at the TCA Winter Press Tour, confirmed that the two leads in the JASON BOURNE franchise, Matt Damon and Jeremy Renner, most likely won't be sharing any screen time in subsequent installments.

Marshall told Collider on a crossover: "We don't have plans for that. You never know. I never say never. But that's not the plan. They're on separate tracks."

Renner's 'Aaron Cross,' succeeded Damon's 'Jason Bourne' in the previous film THE BOURNE LEGACY. Universal had previously set up the next installment to star Renner, but backtracked once Paul Greengrass agreed to return, and in turn, Damon.

The first 'Bourne' film THE BOURNE IDENTITY hit theaters in 2002, based on Robert Ludlum's novel of the same name. THE BOURNE SUPREMACY (2004), THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM (2007) and THE BOURNE LEGACY (2012) followed. The series centers on Jason Bourne (Damon), a man suffering from memory loss who attempts to discover his true identity while entrenched in a CIA conspiracy.

Damon will next appear in the film The Martian. His recent credits include Interstellar, The Monuments Men, The Zero Theorem, Elysium, Behind the Candelabra and more.

Greengrass directed the 'Ultimatum' and 'Supremacy' installments of the Bourne series. Among his other film credits are Captain Phillips, Green Zone, United 93, Bloody Sunday and more. He is currently working on The Ballad of Richard Jewell.
