Alicia Vikander In Talks To Star In Both BOURNE 5 & ASSASSIN'S CREED

After wowing audiences with her performance in Ex Machina earlier this year, Swedish starlet Alicia Vikander has entered talks to star in not one, but two of next year's biggest action tentpoles!

Ex Machina has been one of the biggest critical hits of the year so far - earning multiple plaudits for the quality of its leading performances. While Domhall Gleeson and Oscar Isaac have since joined up with the Star Wars universe, their co-star appears to be ready to take Hollywood by storm in her own way. Alicia Vikander received rave reviews for her bold and beguiling performance as 'Ava' - and it seems that she's piqued a lot of other directors' interest too...

Deadline are reporting that Vikander is in talks to star in not one, but two action blockbusters next year - starting with Paul Greengrass' untitled Jason Bourne sequel
. The new Bourne film, which also sees star Matt Damon return to the popular franchise, is currently set for a July 29 release. Following this, Vikander will then move on to Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed adaptation - featuring alongside Michael Fassbender ahead of a proposed December 21 release.

It's seems likely that in order for Vikander to star in both projects, she would need to shoot them back-to-back. The actress is in very high demand at the moment, and will next be seen alongside Man Of Steel's Henry Cavill in Guy Ritchie's Man From U.N.C.L.E.. 
In the event that she only has the time to shoot one, which action franchise would you be more excited to see her in?

I love her.

Ex Machina is great sci-fi, but if you want to see her breakout hits, check out A Royal Affair (on Netflix) and Joe Wright's Anna Karenina.

Fassbender (and his huge schlong) is dating her.

I am jealous.

@NightsKing Lol, you're so wrong. She has 7 films out this year and the only "blockbuster" is Seventh Son, which was made in 2013. She'll be continuing to be working with auteurs for the rest of her life while managing a franchise or two (just like most good A-listers).

I have to admit that I know little about her, aside from the fact that she's really pretty.

Missed Ex Machina, planned to go on various occassions and always couldn't go because of something. :(

@daddybear Oscar Isaac was phenomenal. Such an arrogant, intelligent mad man.

That dancing scene might be my favorite scene of the year when it's all said and done.

@daddybear Yeah, can't wait to watch it again once it hits bluray. Alex Garland is such a smart screenwriter and director. Can't wait for his next film.
