Matt Damon is back as Jason Bourne in the untitled Bourne film due out in July 2016.

Frank Marshall, executive producer of the film, who has also worked on iconic films such as the Back To The Future trilogy most recently Jurassic World, tweeted a still from the new film.

The photo shows a shirtless Matt Damon with a fully ripped body wrapping his hands in bandages like he's preparing for a fight.

There's no clue as to where this scene is taking place and the plot of the film has been kept tightly under wraps.

This film is the fifth in the franchise, but the fourth to star Matt Damon who didn't appear in the The Bourne Legacy released in 2012 starring Jeremy Renner as the lead.

In an interview with Buzzfeed Matt Damon hinted that the film would start in Greece and end in Las Vegas, but didn't reveal much else.

'Bourne 5' will see Julia Stiles reprising her role as Nicky Parsons, who appeared in the first three films; and French actor, Vincent Cassel will play the main villain.
