    Riz Ahmed Joins Bourne 5 Cast

    Variety has reported that Riz Ahmed will be joining the cast for the fifth instalment in the Bourne franchise. The actor will play the role of a CIA tech specialist. The production for the film started in October.

    Matt Damon will be returning as Jason Bourne. According to BuzzFeed, Matt said, “Without giving too much of it away, it’s Bourne through an austerity-riddled Europe and in a post-Snowden world. It seems like enough has changed, you know? There are all these kinds of arguments about spying and civil liberties and the nature of democracy”.

    Riz Ahmed is known from movie like Four Lions, Nightcrawler and The Reluctant Fundamentalist. He will also be seen in Gareth Edwards’ Star Wars: Rogue One which is slated for a release date of December 2016. Directed by Paul Greengrass, the yet to be titled Bourne film will hit the screens on July 29 next year. It will be produced by Frank Marshall, Jeffrey Weiner, Greg Goodman as well as Matt and Paul.
