Matt Damon says he'd be up for doing a cross over with Jeremy Renner's Aaron Cross from The Bourne Legacy

The star of the Bourne franchise spoke exclusively to Digital Spy while promoting his new movie Jason Bourne, the fifth part of the set after Legacy.

It's been 9 years since Bourne's last outing in The Bourne Ultimatum – Jason didn't appear in Legacy, but Damon says he'd consider a future pair-up.

"I'd definitely be up for anything with Jeremy, I think he's brilliant," the actor said. 

"I can't see how to make the characters cross over because they're both lone wolves – but if they could find a way then I'd be all for it."

Damon stars opposite Alicia Vikander, who says joining the Bourne universe was "like stepping into a family".
