The first image from the eagerly anticipated spin-off franchise The Bourne Legacy was recently released. Even though Tony Gilroy is still filming the movie fans have been looking forward to this revelation.

Hopefully they won’t be too disappointed by this one and only image.

The shot shows our hero Jeremy Renner just kind of standing there looking tough and mysterious, fans were probably hoping for some gunfire and explosions but considering the movie is still in production there’s not a great deal that’s probably ready to be released.

The movie also stars Edward Norton, Rachel Weisz, Joan Allen, Edward Finney and Scott Glenn along side Renner, who in this image doesn’t look all that different from the serious and highly dangerous William Brandt that he played in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Although Renner’s fans should be well used to his tough-guy persona after his roles in both Ghost Protocol and 2008’s The Hurt Locker.

The Bourne Legacy is due for release on August 17 this year.
