Ladies and germs, we have a title! After labouring for ages as the Untitled Bourne Movie, the new adventures of Matt Damon's government asset turned rogue warrior will now be called... Jason Bourne, as displayed by the movie's first teaser/Super Bowl TV spot, viewable here{ =nofollow}.

It's a break from the previous tradition of naming them in the Robert Ludlum style of The Bourne [Insert Word Here], but does work given that Bourne still retains his full memory, so he knows who he is. Or at least who he was meant to be. And might that hint at more revelations to come?

There is still no proper plot synopsis for what the former government asset will be up to this time, though Damon has said it’ll reflect our financially risky times and is firmly set in a post-Edward Snowden world. Take that for what you will, but the last time we saw him, Bourne was doing some whistleblowing of his own, releasing the information about the illegal program codenamed Treadstone that created him and then going firmly off the grid. And things are certainly going kablooey in the teaser – at least when Damon isn't laying out opponents with one punch.

The new Bourne will be with us on July 29. [Head here for all the Super Bowl trailers in one handy spot](http://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/super-bowl-trailers-one-stop-guide/] and here for a comprehensive guide to Jason Bourne.
