Talk about timing! Mere days after Empire** talked to Julia Stiles about her latest film and discussed the chances of her returning to the Bourne franchise now that Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass are aboard, news arrives that she will indeed be back as Nicky Parsons.
The nervy Nicky has been a presence in the three Jason Bourne-centric films, and becomes the first character beyond Damon’s to be confirmed for the latest, as-yet-untitled movie. Alicia Vikander is reportedly being sought to join them, but she hasn’t made any sort of deal just yet.
As for what the formerly amnesiac superspy will be up against this time? Nothing has been revealed yet, though we do know that Greengrass is at work on the script with Christopher Rouse and Frank Marshall will be back in the producer’s chair. The new Bourne, whatever it may end up being called, is set for release on July 29, 2016.
Stiles has supernatural thriller** Out Of The Dark** on DVD now and will be seen in The Great Gilly Hopkins, Go With Me, Border Crossing and Beyond Deceit.
