In addition, the film stars Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander, Julia Stiles (who was also absent from The Bourne Legacy), Vincent Cassel, Riz Ahmed, Ato Essandoh and Scott Shepherd.

The character Aaron Cross, from The Bourne Legacy, does not appear in Jason Bourne because fans preferred to see the return of the titular character, and because actor Jeremy Renner chose not to return for the fifth film due to scheduling conflicts.

Despite the reviews, the film was a box office success, grossing $415 million worldwide. For Full Plot Details visit: Jason Bourne (film)
