Jeremy Renner says that The Bourne Legacy puts a whole new spin on the franchise.
The actor steps into the film series for the first time this week as he takes on the role of Aaron Cross.
And while it is still an espionage movie Renner hopes that the movie offers a 'fresh perspective' to the stories and the characters.
Speaking to Flicks and Bits the actor said: "Cross and Bourne, they don't know each other, so this has a whole new spin on why these super soldier spies are the way they are now.
"I hope I can bring a fresh perspective to it. It doesn't veer into the CGI world or massive explosions. It stays authentic.
"It was important for me to want to find humanity within this character. What matters is that there is believability in everything we do in the film.
"No matter what the stunt is or the setup, it's all based in reality, truth and the potential of science. As an actor, that's easy to grab onto."
Renner is joined on the cast list by Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton but the likes of Paddy Considine and David Strathairn also appear.
The movie has already topped the box office in the U.S., ending the three week reign of The Dark Knight Rises.
