Filming of the fifth Bourne movie is underway, and Matt Damon isn’t wearing a shirt.
Producer Frank Marshall tweeted the first photo of resurrected Jason Bourne from the set, featuring a sculpted Damon wrapping his fists with bandages.
Damon and his impeccable physique were absent from the last Bourne film in 2012, The Bourne Legacy. He’s emerged from his hiatus for the newest movie, making it eight years since his appearance in The Bourne Ultimatum in 2007.
Not much is known about the fifth installment, but in August, Damon told BuzzFeed that the newest Bourne movie takes place in a “post-Snowden world.”
“We always looked at those movies as really about the Bush presidency, and so we kind of had to wait for the world to change,” he said. “It seems like enough has changed, you know? There are all these kinds of arguments about spying and civil liberties and the nature of democracy.”
The currently-untitled film will also star Julia Stiles and Tommy Lee Jones. It’s set to roll out July 29, 2016.
