Alicia Vikander has been busy already this year and still has a few films left on her schedule for 2015. She’s now looking ahead to future projects, and appears set to keep the big titles rolling in, entering talks to co-star in the next Bourne film and with Michael Fassbender in game adaptation Assassin’s Creed.
According to Deadline, she’s in line to play a role alongside Matt Damon, who decided a while ago to return to the franchise alongside director Paul Greengrass, with shooting scheduled for this year and a planned July 29, 2016 release date already on the books. Little is known about what Jason Bourne will be up to in the next chapter of his life, but we presume a lot of running, scrapping and driving incredibly dangerously while the camera jitters like a kitten on a caffeine high will be part of it.
And then there’s Assassin’s Creed, which Fassbender is executive producing with Justin Kurzel directing. Vikander jumping aboard would mean a reunion with Fassbender on screen following The Light Between Oceans. The Creed film appears to represent the actor re-teaming with lots of people he’s previously worked with, as Kurzel directed him in the new Macbeth and his co-star from that film, Marion Cotillard, is also linked to the game adaptation.
Assuming both deals go through – and even if they don’t – it seems Vikander’s schedule is filling up to such a degree that she’ll have to drop out of a recent assignment, co-starring with Tom Hanks in tech thriller The Circle. It appears the producers on that one are already considering Emma Watson to replace her.
As mentioned, Vikander will be seen in The Light Between Oceans, which arrives on January 8 next year. Before that, she has The Danish Girl, due January 1, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., which is out on August 14 and culinary comedy Adam Jones arriving October 2.
