Instead , it ’s a semi - spinoff that revolves around a different " program " Treadstone assassin - as played by Hawkeye fromThe Avengers(a.k.a . Oscar - nominee Jeremy Renner ) .
Bournefilm serial film writer Tony Gilroy is juggling both writing and direct duties onBourne Legacy . His involvement with the new chapter in this pop natural action - thriller franchise - coalesce with the film ’s respectable cast ( more on that in a minute ) - was enough to land this not - a - reboot installment a smudge on ourMost Anticipated Movies of 2012list .
