"Ex Machina" star Alicia Vikander is in talks to star in the film adaptation of the Ubisoft video game "Assassin's Creed", as well as the forthcoming fifth Bourne film.
As a result of the Swedish actress's new projects, it seems likely that Vikander will drop out of Tom Hanks-vehicle "The Circle", with Emma Watson allegedly being lined up as a replacement, reported Deadline.
In addition to "Ex Machina", Vikander has previously appeared in "A Royal Affair" and "Anna Karenina" and will also star in the upcoming film "The Man from UNCLE" alongside Henry Cavill.
