Justin Lin was even attached as a director (though this was even before Star Trek Beyond). For example, before Greengrass and Matt Damon were confirmed to return, Universal was already hard at work on an untitled sequel centering on Jeremy Renner's Aaron Cross. Obviously the box office performance and reception of Jason Bourne will have a very important impact on how Universal plans out the franchise in the next few years, but there are some developments that are already in the works. That future that Paul Greengrass mentioned is currently very unclear. As for what happens in the future, frankly that's not my job.

That's all I wanted to tell, and that was all I was going to make. I just wanted to tell a Jason Bourne story. I asked Greengrass if it was ever an idea that was on the table for the project, but he explained why it never was: While we discussed many different aspects of the movie, one of the last topics of conversation was about the narrative opportunity in Jason Bourne and Aaron Cross getting to meet. With Paul Greengrass currently out and about doing press for the forthcoming blockbuster release, I had the pleasure of hopping on the phone with the director earlier this month.
