In Bourne Identity, Bourne conflicts with the CIA; in Bourne Supremacy, Bourne takes revenges on those murders that have killed his wife; in Bourne Ultimatum, Bourne has to fight against a secret organization named Blackbriar.

However, the latest Bourne movie, The Bourne Legacy will present people a total different movie where Bourne never shows up. The Bourne Legacy mainly focuses on the adventure of a secret agent named Aaron who has to face the stakes caused by Bourne. When watching The Bourne Legacy, it is better to forget everything about Bourne trilogy.

As for The Bourne Legacy, it was casted by Jeremy Renner who had impressed audiences with his excellent performance in The Avengers. Moreover, Jeremy Renner has successfully presented audience a new character different from Bourne. However, though Aaron is not as tough as Bourne or as wise as Bourne, he is at least as brave as Bourne.
