A few days ago I decided that Jeremy Renner will to be the next big action hero. He’ll hold his own and even perform better than younger and more obvious actors like Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans.
The release this week of a teaser trailer for this summer’s The Bourne Legacy confirms my suspicions with Renner literally flexing his muscles in the service of his country. The film reunites some Bourne favourites including Albert Finney, Joan Allen and Scott Glenn and introduces new faces including Edward Norton and Rachel Weisz. We’re told that CIA programme, Outcome, is “Treadstone without the inconsistency” and that “Jason Bourne was only the tip of the iceberg”. This is going to be one of the must-see movies of the summer and along with The Avengers should make Jeremy Renner one of the most bankable actors working at the moment.
Let me know what you think of the trailer.
