Matt Damon only has twenty-five lines in Universal's Jason Bourne, letting the former Treadstone agent's punches do most of the talking for him. In this latest featurette, Matt Damon, director Paul Greengrass, and fight coordinator Roger Yuan discuss Bourne's efficient and deadly fighting style.

"It is a big JasonBourne movie," Damon says. "And we're building the fights like fans of movie fights.Bourne's style requires a lot of improvising. He's always trying to neutralize whatever the other person has, and he'll use found objects. He actually breaks a chair and uses pieces of the chair-leg." He adds, "All Treadstone agents are able to pick-up anything and use it to their advantage, and so, this movie has the mother of all Treadstone fights."

"It's a style of fighting where you use anything," Greengrass offers. "Bourne uses anything and everything that he can see around him. We get to see him exploiting that."

Matt Damon returns to his most iconic role in Jason Bourne. Paul Greengrass, the director of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, once again joins Damon for the next chapter of Universal Pictures' Bournefranchise, which finds the CIA's most lethal former operative drawn out of the shadows.

For Jason Bourne, Damon is joined by Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel and Tommy Lee Jones, while Julia Stiles reprises her role in the series. Frank Marshall again produces alongside Jeffrey Weiner for Captivate Entertainment, and Greengrass, Damon, Gregory Goodman and Ben Smith also produce. Based on characters created by Robert Ludlum, the film is written by Greengrass and Christopher Rouse.

Jason Bourne will land in theaters July 29, 2016.
