We've been teased with various snippets of Jason Bourne footage since the Super Bowl and at long last, we've finally been treated to a full-length trailer - starring Matt Damon in all his action-packed glory.

Set to be one of summer 2016's most-anticipated blockbusters, Jason Bourne follows the hugely successful '00s action trilogy of The Bourne IdentityThe Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum.

There was, of course, a slight detour after that with Jeremy Renner's The Bourne Legacy in 2012 – the general consensus being that he was OK – but there was a collective sigh of relief when Damon was brought back into the fold.

And as you can see, the trailer is full-throttle, action-packed Bourne at his best.

Damon, who last played the steely CIA agent in 2007, previously told ComingSoon: "[In] The Bourne Ultimatum, the third act actually dovetails with the third act of The Bourne Supremacy.

"So technically when the Bourne character disappears, it's still 2004. So when this next one comes out [in 2016], it will have been 12 years in movie years that the character has been off the grid.

What to Read Next

"What's happened in those intervening years gives you a story."

Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel and Tommy Lee Jones join the action series - and yes, Julia Stiles is back as veteran CIA agent Nicky Parsons.

Jason Bourne is set for release in the UK on July 27, and opens in the US on July 29.
