Deadline is reporting that Vikander is on board the fifth - and highly anticipated - Bourne film but will not be starring in Assassin's Creed.

Bourne 5 will see Matt Damon return to the title role, while Paul Greengrass is back in the director's chair News of Vikander's casting comes just days after it was announced that Julia Styles would also be returning to the franchise.

At the moment, it is unclear as to who Vikander will be playing in the film - will she be a good or bad character? I guess we are going to have to wait and see.

It was back in 2007 when Damon last starred as Jason Bourne in The Bourne Ultimatum and - for a time - it looked like he would never return to this popular role.

As for Vikander, we have already seen her in Testament of Youth, Son of a Gun, Seventh Son, and Ex Machina this year and she is set to return to the big screen this summer with The Man From U.N.C.L.E. - which is the latest film from director Guy Ritchie.

She has also completed work on The Light Between Oceans - which sees her star alongside Michael Fassbender - and The Danish Girl - which sees her work with Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne. She is already being tipped as a possible Oscar contender for her role in the latter.

Assassin's Creed would have seen her reunite with Fassbender, who has been attached to the computer game adaptation for quite some time. The movie will see Fassbender reunite with Macbeth director Justin Kurzel and co-star Marion Cotillard.

The new Bourne movie is set to hit the big screen next summer.
