In fact, such an online ecosystem seems to be devoid of any human qualities. It makes us wonder why we are perpetuating a culture that shamelessly exploits real people’s real problems or how trauma and mental health issues become a commodity in the hands of fame-chasers and obnoxious Insta-influencers.

In the film, Matt reprises his role as the former CIA operative who must deal with a whole new set of problems. After a few short sneak peeks on social media and one Super Bowl trailer, Universal Pictures is ready to release the first full-length trailer for Matt Damon's highly anticipated project Jason Bourne.
