Stiles discussed a return during an interview with Screen Rant!

But her words made things a lot more uncertain!

  • She admitted that she was getting a sense of déjà vu as this has been a topic in previous Bourne releases.
  • Stiles had a realistic, blunt approach about the likelihood. "It would have to be some sort of prequel thingy," she shared in this interesting moment of what fans wanted and how they might actually approach making this an enjoyable experience.

However, Stiles didn't give any hard and fast no's and mentioned, with humor, that she wasn't going to hold her breath for this exciting opportunity.

What Does This Mean for Bourne 6?

If Bourne 6 actually does end up happening (fans hope this will become a reality as it was confirmed in 2023)! What looks to be the biggest surprise! It would be very interesting, and most likely challenging to bring back Nicky, as her story in "Jason Bourne" ended tragically, making a return an intriguing prospect!

To date, there's not that much known! About Bourne 6's narrative but Matt Damon confirmed in February 2024 that Bourne 6 is in the works.

Why Nicky's Return Could Be Problematic:

There's a major history with the series that many viewers have adored and one of the greatest strengths for the franchise! For those that enjoy Jason Bourne, you know it’s all about those exciting, unpredictable and incredible action moments, but at the same time, Jason Bourne's survival is really a highlight! For audiences to have this level of trust in his ability to evade enemies or to come back after being hurt. It seems there's been an overarching concept for how those events occur!

What that means is, these situations tend to end badly, and the big takeaway! This is truly the core of this amazing franchise!

There are still plenty of deaths in this action, spy series, including the loss of the character, Marie, in The Bourne Supremacy.

That may leave audiences with the reality that no one in this world can ever really return to this world, but even more specifically it creates an incredible set of high stakes. And so the question becomes. It might take some new directions that could bring Bourne 6 some additional value, even though these past deaths give viewers some serious dramatic elements.

To sum things up: while this might be a fun, refreshing addition for fans of the series. Stiles has certainly been in Bourne movies for quite a while and would bring so much value to this universe!

For a while, it might also give those who adore "Bourne" some uncertainty as to whether she will have a part! That doesn't mean you've lost hope! For some time now, there has been the idea that Bourne movies might not only bring these major stars back together.

Bourne 6 may also give audiences the opportunity to bring to the screen a passing of the torch between Matt Damon's iconic role and a new actor.

What's been the norm? A great movie release in a genre with a fantastic formula is not unusual! After the success of "The Bourne Legacy" which came out with a twist- it didn't feature Damon at all, as it featured Jeremy Renner, with some fairly positive results. Now, fans of this iconic series are waiting to see how the producers of Bourne bring together these elements. The producers might want to take this a step forward, bringing a story that delivers! That would not only be a big change! but it's something everyone is watching. If that is not interesting enough. Maybe fans can be hoping for another special treat that is on par with how much audiences loved "Ultimatum"! Maybe audiences could get lucky and find a way that these movies come together in the end, making this one of those series' that hasn't gone out with a final bang, making fans want to keep going back!
