The first trailer for the movie was recently unveiled at the Super Bowl and Jason is back in action leaving the CIA wondering why he has come back. Talking to EW, Damon revealed that Jason will obviously be dealing with some conflict which causes him to come back, and this time around he remembers everything and who he is, but that doesn't spell resolution.
"Well I don't know how much I should say. [Laughs] We talked a lot about what state he should be in, and where we came to was that if you found him fat and happy and content, you don't really have a movie. So we talked about how at the end of Bourne Ultimatum, he gets his memory back and it kind of completed that identity journey for him," he said. "But does that complete things for the character or not? And the conclusion we came to is no - we find him in a very dark and tortured place. He's living with the same things as he was before, and then he goes to find Julia Stiles' character, who basically says, "Just because you remember everything, doesn't mean you know everything." So you find him in a place that's dark and unresolved."

Damon went on to add that this movie was not a chapter in itself and can essentially be absorbed in the trilogy.
"This is the completion of this journey that started in the Bourne Identity. It's part of the first three [movies], it's not a whole new chapter," he said. "It feels like the conclusion, even though we're not saying it's the conclusion, it feels like the conclusion of my identity journey. It goes deeper than Ultimatum, basically."
Jason Bourne will release on July 29, 2016.
