Damon denies fourth Bourne rumours

Matt Damon has denied reports that a fourth Bourne film is in the works.

Variety had claimed that Universal planned a fourth instalment of the hit franchise, with both Damon and director Paul Greengrass on board.

However, Damon did not rule out returning as assassin Jason Bourne, saying: "We've just kind of been amused by the whole thing. I think it's one of these stories that has a life of its own.

"Not that we're against it. We're all for doing a fourth movie but it means coming up with a good story."

He previously said he would be willing to return to the franchise in ten years.

Damon is expecting his second child with wife Luciana Barroso.
