What this means for Jason Bourne 6

It's not the only sequel with which Berger has exposed a connection to him

Interestingly, this is the first time Berger has really spoken about his involvement Jason Bourne 6with Damon confirmed in February that the Oscar winner wasn't just tied downbut that the sequel was based on Berger's idea, which Damon “Great“Looking at his previous filmography, Berger has written all but one of his released films, making it likely that he is set to write the script for the sequel unless the studio hires another writer to write it, while Berger focuses on his other projects, including conclave and the Netflix adaptation of The ballad of a little prayer.

Our take on Berger's Jason Bourne 6 update

It's too early to say anything

While a long wait is generally a worrying sign for a sequel, especially one that already has an eight-year gap from its predecessor, I think it's ultimately too early to determine what Berger's update represents Jason Bourne 6. Considering that he's not just doing press work for the newly released version at the moment conclavebut supposedly also in post-production The ballad of a little prayerIt seems possible that he's just been too busy in the year since the sequel was announced to really sit down and work out his plan for it. And if Damon remains interested in keeping Berger at the helm, the wait could prove even longer.
