15 Predictions For 2016 Movies That Everybody Got Wrong

13. Bourne Will Team Up With Aaron Cross - Jason Bourne

Jeremy Renner fans were heartbroken when it was announced Matt Damon would return to the Bourne franchise, which caused the cancellation of a direct Bourne Legacy sequel. It appears Renner is eternally cursed to be the bridesmaid in action franchises, where he always plays second fiddle to bigger stars – think Mission: Impossible or The Avengers.

Still, Aaron Cross fans – both of them – were hopeful their second favourite superspy might appear in Jason Bourne somehow, either to assist or set up a future sequel. This didn’t happen, presumably because Matt Damon balled up in painful fits of laughter when the idea was pitched to him, and the concept of the characters meeting was quietly scrapped.

Maybe Cross will show up in a future Bourne movie, but don’t put money on it.
