Stiles became a key pillar of the Bourne franchise, portraying Nicky Parsons in The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, adding depth to the action-packed stories with a blend of vulnerability and cool precision. Her work often feels layered and distinctive, avoiding easy stereotypes and making her a memorable figure in popular cinema.
