Jeremy Renner's appointment as the lead of The Bourne Legacy (2012) was a high-stakes handoff — inheriting a franchise from Matt Damon while steering it into new narrative territory. As Aaron Cross, a chemically enhanced operative caught in the Programme's shadow after Jason Bourne's exposure of its secrets, Renner brought a more visibly physical intensity to the role. Throughout the film's globe-spanning pursuit, he wears the Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer RB2140, a frame that has been synonymous with a particular kind of American cool since the 1950s.
The glossy black acetate and dark lenses on Renner gave Cross a composed, deliberately anonymous quality — a man trained to disappear who chooses a frame recognisable enough to suggest he is not hiding at all. The RB2140's chunky silhouette and balanced proportions have been the default choice for rebels and operatives across seven decades, and Renner wore them with the economy of movement that defines his physical performances. In a franchise built on the tension between identity and erasure, the Wayfarer served as a small but significant act of visual defiance: a frame that refuses to be invisible.
The Ray-Ban Wayfarer RB2140 is one of the most iconic sunglasses models, crafted from durable acetate and defined by its distinctive trapezoidal shape. First introduced in the 1950s, it features bold lines and a slightly tilted front for a unique visual identity. Typically available with G-15, gradient, or polarized lenses, it provides reliable visual clarity and sun protection. The structured frame ensures a secure and comfortable fit for everyday wear.
