The previously-untitled fifth film in the Jason Bourne franchise will be titled simply Jason Bourne, Universal Pictures revealed today at the end of the movie's Super Bowl 50 TV spot.

After four previous installments that used Bourne's last name -- from The Bourne Identity to The Bourne Legacy -- this minimalist approach is reminiscent of sequels like Rocky Balboa and Rambo, both of which eschewed numbers and subtitles late in their franchise.

Jason Bourne brings back director Paul Greengrass and the star of the lucrative franchise, Matt Damon.

A lot has changed in the world since we last saw Jason Bourne in 2007's Bourne Ultimatum. There was the financial collapse, the great recession, cyberwarfare and the trampling of civil liberties. Time to see how Bourne will fair in this environment.

Check out the Super Bowl television spot in the video below.

The cast also includes Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander, Julia Stiles, Vincent Cassel and Ato Essandoh.

Jason Bourne is set to hit theaters on July 29, 2016.
