These Hollywood actors will reprise their famous onscreen characters in movie franchises in 2016

Earlier, Damon was seen in The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004) and The Bourne Ultimatum (2007).Since he chose not to star in The Bourne Legacy (2012), he will play the CIA assassin who suffers from memory loss for the fourth time after eight years. The untitled action thriller will be directed by Paul Greengrass who had helmed the franchise's second and third instalments.
RENEE ZELLWEGER AS BRIDGET JONES
Renee Zellweger, who grabbed eyeballs for looking `unrecognisable' some time back, will return to the silver screen in Bridget Jones' s Baby. She last portrayed the 30-something quirky character in 2004. The third instalment of the chick flick will feature Colin Firth once again but Hugh Grant won't be a part of it.Patrick Dempsey is the new addition to the cast.
TOM HANKS AS ROBERT LANGDON
The Academy Award winner has portrayed Robert Langdon, the fictional character created by author Dan Brown, in The Da Vinci Code (2006) and Angels & Demons (2009). This year, he will reprise his role as the professor of religious iconology and symbology in Inferno. It also features Irrfan in a crucial role.
PATRICK WILSON, VERA FARMIGA IN THE CONJURING SEQUEL
The duo played paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren in the 2013 horror hit The Conjuring.While the plot has been kept under wraps, the actors have reunited to reprise their roles in The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist, slated to release this year.
VIN DIESEL AS XANDER CAGE
It has been 13 years since Vin Diesel starred as Xander Cage in the action thriller xXx. He didn't feature in the 2005 sequel.The action star recently confirmed that he would reprise the role once again in this year's xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.Interestingly, Deepika Padukone is most likely to star in it, given her much talked-about picture with the actor, which was taken during the film's casting.
TOM CRUISE AS JACK REACHER
His first attempt at portraying the protagonist of author Lee Child's book series in Jack Reacher (2012) received mixed reviews. And while it can never surpass the popularity of Ethan Hunt in the Mission Impossible series, we are curious to know what Cruise has in store for us this time around as the former Major in the United States Army Military Police Corps. His fans are definitely waiting for Jack Reacher: Never Go Back.
JASON STATHAM AS ARTHUR BISHOP
Jason Statham will be seen as Arthur Bishop, a professional assassin, in the sequel to his 2011 film The Mechanic. Though his action films are more or less similar, if you are his fan, Mechanic: Resurrection should be on your mustwatch list.
NIA VARDALOS AND JOHN CORBETT IN MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING 2
Though the two have reunited for another romcom in 2009, they are best remembered for My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002).Fourteen years later, Nia Vardalos and John Corbett will be seen in the sequel.
