Matt Damon will not be reappearing in the "The Bourne Legacy," the fourth movie in its series. Whenever actors switch out from their roles, especially in movies that are involved in a whole series, I tend to have to adjust to the new actors. Although the character is the same, actors portray characters in different ways. One actor may portray a character harsher than another actor does depending on how their views of the story and the character's situation are.
It usually takes time for me to get used to new actors, such as the change of actors playing Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series. The movie gets a bit strange because it is not the original actor acting as the character. There is a change in face and personality, causing me to have to sort of "adapt" to the situation. When the actor playing Malfoy was switched, I had to watch Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban about five more times before I grew adjust to having another actor play Malfoy.
This is also the same with Dumbledore, especially because the voices changed from a timid, older sounding voice to a loud, mighty voice.
When Matt Damon is switched, some Legacy fans may have to take a little time to accept the change and become used to having someone else play the main character for the rest of the series.

I agree its hard to adjust, but they can put a character in a new light. Think James Bond.

That's too bad. Damon was an excellent Jason Bourne, and it will be hard to see a different actor play him...
