Jeremy Renner has said that he wants to see his Bourne franchise character team up with Matt Damon.
Damon and director Paul Greengrass departed the franchise after 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum. The series continued with 2012's The Bourne Legacy with Renner playing new agent Aaron Cross.
However, studio Universal has entered talks with Damon and Greengrass to return to the franchise for a sequel due in summer 2016. Renner told The Huffington Post that he wants to see Cross and Bourne together in the same movie.
"I think it really opens up the world and it keeps Bourne's character active," Renner said of Damon's potential series return.
"I think Cross's character is already going to continue to be active. I think it will take creatives to bring them together, which is what I think is ultimately the plan."
He continued: "I love the idea of Greengrass and Damon, or whatever it might be, let them be adversaries, let them become buddies, whatever the heck it might be, them coming together would be a pretty tremendous thing."
