While celebrating season 4 of Project Greenlight on Friday, Ben Affleck – who will make his debut as the caped crusader in 2016 – joked that his best buddy Matt Damon is set to give his fit physique some serious competition.
"Well, [Damon's] going to be doing a Bourne movie next fall when I've just completely lost any semblance of physical fitness," Affleck, 42, told E! News.
Damon, 44, later confirmed Affleck's announcement. "Yes, next year," he said.
The actor, who starred in the first, second and third films, did not return for the latest movie, The Bourne Legacy , in 2012.
But Damon hadn't ruled out an eventual reprisal of his role as Jason Bourne, a CIA assassin who suffers from memory loss – he's just been waiting for the director of the second and third installments to get back on board.
"It'll be in 2016 when the movie will actually come out," Damon said. "Paul Greengrass is going to do another one, and that's all I ever said. I just needed him to say yes."
