Not Jason Bourne

Jeremy Renner is ready for you not to call him Jason Bourne.

The Oscar nominee, who’s kinda sorta taken over the Bourne series from Matt Damon, has revealed a little about what fans can expect from the upcoming Tony Gilroy-directed Bourne Legacy, including the name of his character.

“[I’m playing] Aaron Cross,” he said, “but [I end] up having a bunch of different names. [The movie] has that same ticking clock, but it’s a new [thing with] new characters. It’s just a new set of agents with a different leash. The differences are pretty vast, but you’ll know it’s a Bourne movie.”

Mmm...even without Damon?

I’m skeptically curious, Jer, so I’ll be looking for this one to pay out.
