The early 2010s were huge for Jeremy Renner . He'd just come off of a star-making turn in the Best Picture-winning thriller The Hurt Locker , and had played a central role in the $1.5 billion-grossing The Avengers . At around the same time, Renner was hired to play a key role in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol , the fourth film in the landmark franchise, with the possibility of taking over from Tom Cruise as the protagonist. A year later, he was tapped to lead The Bourne Legacy , the fourth film in the spy franchise, and the first to not feature Matt Damon as the titular Jason Bourne. While Renner didn't end up inheriting either franchise, he can celebrate The Bourne Legacy delivering a better performance on streaming than any of its predecessor
