James Bond borrowed a lot from Jason Bourne during the Daniel Craig era, from 007's character traits and fighting style to the franchise's aesthetic.
In Daniel Craig’s era, the James Bond movies borrowed a lot from the story of Jason Bourne. While James Bond is a consistent character, that doesn’t mean that the suave super-spy is impervious to trends. 007 may always have the same name, the same sharp suits, and the same set of reliable colleagues at MI6, but various outings of the James Bond franchise have tried to cash in on trends with varying levels of success.

However, one thing that even a casual viewer could admit Bond stole from Bourne was the amnesiac assassin’s visual style.
3 Daniel Craig’s Bond Borrowed Jason Bourne’s PTSD Of course, directors and cinematographers weren’t the only ones looking to the Bourne trilogy for creative inspiration. Daniel Craig’s Bond was the first 007 who seemed deeply scarred by the things he had seen and done, a character trait that Jason Bourne popularized post-9/11 .
Bourne’s brutality took a toll on the character’s soul, and the spy struggled with the extreme violence he was capable of committing throughout the franchise. This was borrowed by Craig’s 007, who was angsty about his job and what it led him to do even before he met Vesper Lynd. Notably, while Craig’s later Bond movies did get a little campier and more over-the-top, the character’s believable fighting style still reappeared throughout the series.
