Q. What drew you back to the Bourne franchise for a second time? A: Well, because I love the franchise, I love the character and I love the world.

If the franchise films aren't working then we don't get to do the other films that we want to make. So, when you look at the huge engine room where these big, big movies get made most of them tend to be superhero movies, or movies about characters with magical powers. They tend to be the province of fantasy or comic book based characters.
