The wait for the new film in the Bourne franchise has always been exciting for Matt Damon fans. However, the recent update has left many disappointed. Edward Berger, who is the director of this film, has made it clear that there has been no progress on the project in the last one year. This has raised concerns about whether the film will ever be made or not. Fans are saddened to know that no concrete steps have been taken in the development of the film.
Universal Pictures announced last November that they are working on the Bourne sequel with Edward Berger. As per Cinema Daily US report, Berger recently shared his thoughts about the project. He said that he is not sure if he will direct Bourne 6 or not. Berger said that he is currently busy with other projects, which will keep him until next summer. It is clear that he does not have time for Bourne 6 at the moment.
Berger also said that he needs a solid reason to bring Matt Damon back to make the film. This is necessary to maintain the quality of this franchise. If the story is not strong, then it will not be right to bring Matt Damon back. In this situation, Berger said, “We can make the film only if we can do justice to the level of Paul Greengrass’ films.” He believes that Paul Greengrass has made the Bourne films in a great way, and it is necessary to maintain the same level.
At the moment, Berger does not have any “golden ideas” that would make it clear what the direction of the film will be. “Well, I mean, it’s not really clear that… I’m not doing it right now,” Berger said. This shows that he is still trying to clarify his thoughts.

Future prospects
This is a worrying time for fans of the franchise. Hearing about the progress of Bourne 6, it seems that there is no possibility of praise. Many were expecting the film to be released this year or next, but now it seems doubtful. The director said, “I don’t really know what I will do in the future. There are too many options.“
This means that if Berger is to direct Bourne 6, he will have to complete his other projects first. He is currently working on films like “Conclave” and “The Ballad of a Small Player”. It will be difficult to find time between these films. Fans are now left wondering if Bourne 6 will ever make it to the audience.
At this point in time, it is hard to say what the future holds for the film. However, Berger has made it clear that Bourne is a great franchise and he realizes its importance. But despite this, without the right story and casting, all of this will remain just a dream.

Final Thoughts
The future of Bourne 6 is currently in the dark. Fans have been waiting for the film’s release time and again, but Berger’s statement makes it clear that things are moving at a slow pace right now. Until they find that right story, it is not possible for the film to be made. “You know, that’s a huge hurdle to cross,” Berger said.
His statement shows that Bourne 6 cannot be just another sequel. If it will indeed be made, it should be better and more important than its predecessors. Berger seems to have prioritized the right story and quality, much to the delight of fans. But, will we ever see Bourne 6? That’s the question on everyone’s mind.
