Vikander is one of the big new additions to the fifth Bourne movie, which will see Matt Damon return to the title role and Paul Greengrass to the director's chair.

However, very little is known about Vikander's character in the upcoming film. but she has dropped some tiny hints as to what we can expect from her role.

Speaking to The Wrap, Vikander said: "I'm not doing the conventional action, but I'm very action-driven in this film. But it's not in the way most people would think."

Filming is still underway on the already hugely anticipated film, which will be hitting the big screen this summer. This will be the first time that we have seen Damon take on the role of Jason Bourne since The Bourne Ultimatum back in 2007.

Vikander is not the only new face on the cast list as Tommy Lee Jones, Vincent Cassel, and Riz Ahmed are also on board. Julia Stiles will reunite with Damon as she returns to the role of Nicky.

We still don't know the name of Vikander's character or where she fits into the film, but I can't wait to see this very talented actress join this great action franchise. Bourne 5 is one of the summer movies that I am looking forward to.

2016 has already been a busy year for Vikander as she returned to the big screen with The Danish Girl, for which she has received a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination.

This is the first Oscar nomination of Vikander's career and sees her nominated alongside Kate Winslet, Rooney Mara, Rachel McAdams, and Jennifer Jason Leigh for Steve Jobs, Carol, Spotlight, and The Hateful Eight.

Vikander has also completed work on Tulip fever and The Light Between Oceans, which will both be released this year.

Bourne 5 is released 28th July.
