The Bourne Legacy introduced a new protagonist to the franchise with Jeremy Renner playing Aaron Cross. But what happened to the character in the end?
The ending of The Bourne Legacy couldn’t guarantee a return for Jeremy Renner’s Aaron Cross, but it paved the way for Jason Bourne, Matt Damon’s fourth outing as the titular ex-CIA operative. The only movie in the Bourne series not to feature Damon, The Bourne Legacy is set around the same time as The Bourne Ultimatum. Renner stars as a genetically enhanced CIA agent under the black ops program called Operation Outcome.
Moments before the climactic motorcycle chase of The Bourne Legacy's ending, Cross manages to infect himself with the live virus. But given that the virus takes time to acquaint itself with Cross’s system, it is understandable that he will be in a weakened state. This is what happens despite his best efforts to evade the LARX agent and the local police in Manila. Even though he’s shot and loses consciousness, Shearing manages to kill off LARX#3.
The first movie, The Bourne Identity, established that Operation Treadstone was intended to train super spies like Bourne to perform top-secret tasks around the world, with some missions involving toppling international governments and killing civilians. When Bourne exposed Treadstone, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum covered Treadstone’s upgraded successor, Blackbriar, which similarly involved sending off physically enhanced agents to do the CIA's bidding.
As Byer asks his team to connect him with “all the beta programs” and a certain operation called “Emerald Lake," it is possible that The Bourne Legacy 2 would have explored these other programs and their respective agents. The final battle in The Bourne Legacy also involves a chemically brainwashed operative named LARX#3, implying that LARX is yet another CIA program that involves genetic modification for agents.
