Matt Damon is being lined up to reprise the role of Jason Bourne.
Deadline reports that the 43-year-old actor and director Paul Greengrass have entered into discussions with Universal Pictures to reunite for their third movie together in the Bourne franchise.
It's been reported that the film studio intends to move back its next Bourne spinoff sequel, which is set to star Jeremy Renner.
This means that Damon's comeback as the character of Jason Bourne will be released on July 15, 2016, which is a date already assigned to an as-yet-untitled Bourne movie.
As well as releasing a film starring Damon, it's thought that Universal want to release Renner's film in the future and continue the series.
So far, however, Universal has refused to officially comment on the speculation.
Meanwhile, it was reported in June that Damon had agreed a deal that would see him reprise the role of Jason Bourne.
Speaking earlier this year, the actor explained: "I've always been open to it if Paul Greengrass is the director."
Greengrass directed his third of the Bourne films, 'The Bourne Ultimatum', in 2007.

The 'Avatar' sequels could use Douglas Trumbull's new system for 4K 3D at 120 frames per second.
Trumbull has confirmed the news in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, in which he revealed that James Cameron - who wrote and directed the original film in 2009 - is intrigued by cutting-edge technology.
He said: "I know that Cameron admired Showscan [Trumbull's earlier invention of a large-format high-frame rate projection system] and that he is a huge advocate of high frame rates [HFRs]."
He added: "The use of HFRs for 'Avatar' would be very appropriate and very successful.
"I don't know if Cameron is interested [in using MAGI for the Avatar sequels]. He's in seclusion writing the screenplay for Avatar. I am talking to [series producer] Jon Landau, and we plan to have a screening [of UFOTOG] soon."
What's more, Trumball said he's also in talks with other directors about MAGI.
He explained: "It delivers extreme fluidity of motion and amazing clarity with no strobing, no double flickering and a viewing experience that far exceeds conventional movie quality."
The first of the 'Avatar' sequels is expected to hit cinemas by Christmas 2016.

Marvel Studios has released a full synopsis of 'Avengers: Age of Ultron'.
The much-hyped film is set to feature the likes of Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo and Chris Hemsworth.
The synopsis of the film reads: "When Tony Stark tries to jump-start a dormant peacekeeping programme, things go awry and Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance.
"As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure."
The synopsis continues: "Marvel's 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' stars Robert Downey Jr, who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk.
"Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell bent on human extinction."
It concludes: "Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision."

Ben Kingsley and Brie Larson have joined the cast of 'Brooklyn Bridge'.
Douglas McGrath has written and will direct the historical drama which has been inspired by true events during the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge in the 19th century.
'Twilight' star Daniel Radcliffe has been confirmed as the lead character, Washington Roebling, who was an inexperienced civil engineer challenged with the immense task of overseeing the bridge's construction.
The announcement of Kingsley and Larson's castings comes months after speculation that Radcliffe would be appearing as the protagonist first began.
'Iron Man 3' villain Ben Kingsley will play the father of Radcliffe's character, Roebling Sr., who drew up the plans for the bridge, while 24-year-old '21 Jump Street' actress Larson plays Washington's long-suffering wife, Emily Roebling.
It is believed that the film will pay close attention to Washington and Emily's relationship, with Larson's character contributing to the completion of the bridge after Washington sustains several injuries.
Pascal Degove - Goldcrest Films managing director - said: "This is a film that distributors are really excited about."
He continued: "That this enthusiasm is shared by a highly commercial blend of acclaimed contemporary talent and acting royalty is really a testament to Doug's script and his extraordinary strength as a filmmaker."
The movie - which will be filmed in the spring - will be financed by Goldcrest Films and produced by Rose Ganguzza and Christine Vachon.

Chris McQuarrie will not be directing the next Jack Reacher film, according to Lee Child.
The 59-year-old author has revealed the director of the first movie, which starred Tom Cruise as the protagonist, will not have the same director due to his other commitments.
Child told Empire magazine: "McQuarrie is going to be in post-production on 'Mission Impossible 5'. He just physically can't do it. It's going to be a new backroom crew, which I think is good. I thought the McQuarrie movie was fantastic, but let's see someone else's take on it.
The upcoming sequel - which will reportedly see Cruise reprise his role from the first film - will be based on the eighteenth book in Child's Jack Reacher series 'Never Go Back', and he's confessed they chose that to follow on from original because of the range of characters and gripping storylines.
He explained: "It's almost a three-hander in terms of audience appeal - you've got Reacher, you've got the woman sidekick (Major Susan Turner), and then you've got this strong teenage girl character which they were very interested in."

Cara Delevingne is to star in the upcoming John Green adaptation 'Paper Towns'.
The model is to play the role of Margo in the new film, which is the second best-selling Green novel to be turned into a movie, following on from 'The Fault in Our Stars'.
Green took to Twitter to confirm the casting news, saying: "Cara Delevigne's audition blew everyone away (including me!) and she understands Margo profoundly. I am so excited!"
Jake Schreier, the director of the film, observed that the model's audition was "something special".
Meanwhile, Delevingne was understandably delighted to have been cast in the role, tweeting: "Thank you so much guys!! I am so excited! Ahhhh! X (sic)"
It's also been confirmed that Nat Wolff will star alongside Delevingne as Quentin, who is asked Margo to help her gain revenge on people who have hurt her.
When Margo vanishes, he follows a series of clues that he hopes will lead to finding her.
Delevingne is, of course, predominantly known as a model, but she has also appeared in Sky Arts Playhouse drama 'Timeless' and will soon star in 'The Face of an Angel', the forthcoming Amanda Knox movie.
'Paper Towns' is set to be released next summer.

A man has been bitten by a rattlesnake on the set of 'The Maze Runner'.
The snake wrangler - who was hired to remove the dangerous reptiles from the set of the science fiction thriller - was bitten by the baby rattlesnake as he attempted to capture it and was quickly rushed to hospital.
According to one of the film's young stars Thomas Brodie-Sangster, the man has since made a full recovery.
He told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column at the Cinema Society screening of the post-apocalyptic teen picture: "He got bit, but it was fine.
"He got bit by a little baby rattlesnake. He did get rushed to the hospital, but he was the only one."
The 24-year-old actor and his co-star Dylan O'Brien were lucky to escape injury themselves after discovering two lethal black widow spiders.
Fortunately the pair weren't phased by the incident and Thomas insists the find only added to the "excitement" on the Louisiana set.
When asked about the kinds of snakes they encountered, he said: "Not all poisonous, but we had five different types of venomous snakes and two different kinds of poisonous spiders.
"There was a scene Dylan and I do by a log . . . we did it for hours, and then we got up and a bit of bark fell off and there were two black widows where we were resting our backs. It kind of added to the excitement."

Liam Neeson is writing a movie script with Bono.
The actor has been working with the U2 singer on the story for the last "six years" and he is very excited about the project.
Neeson revealed: "We chat, or with him a lot of the time I just listen. "He's a wonderful man. He's got an idea for a script which we've been working on for the past six years."
The story focuses on the Irish showband movement in the 1970s, but although Neeson is one of the writers he has not revealed if he wants to star in the film if it gets made.
The 62-year-old actor has become a major action star in the last decade and his latest role in 'A Walk Among The Tombstones' sees him on the hunt for a drug-dealer's kidnapped wife.
Although Neeson is portrayed as fearless on screen he admits he has plenty of fears and phobias in real life.
He told The Independent website: "I do have a fear of heights but my son and I recently climbed this little peak called Mollie's Nipple in Utah. It's only 3,000 ft or something but I was shit-scared, especially getting nearer the summit. It wasn't pickaxe time but it was pretty steep. Everybody says don't look down but you have to look down. It was scary but I'm glad I did it. I did it for my son."

Matt Smith has been cast to appear in 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies'.
The former 'Doctor Who' star is the latest big name to be added to the eagerly-away movie, which is an adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's book that parodies Jane Austen's novel 'Pride and Prejudice'.
Among those set to appear alongside Smith in the film is 'Downton Abbey' star Lily James, who will play the role of Elizabeth Bennet, who would rather defend the countryside against zombies than settle for a life of tranquillity.
In the film, Smith will play the role of a parson who proposes marriage to Elizabeth, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The film will also feature the likes of Douglas Booth, Jack Huston - who has just been cast in the 'Ben Hur' remake - and Sam Riley.
Production on the film is set to start on September 24, with the release date scheduled for 2015.
Meanwhile, Smith said earlier this year that he will return to 'Doctor Who'.
The actor bowed out of his role as the titular Time Lord in last year's Christmas special, but he can't wait for the next special anniversary episode so he can reprise his role.
Speaking at this year's Calgary Expo fan convention, he reportedly said: "I'm just waiting for the next anniversary. I spoke to Steven [Moffat, executive producer] the other day and said, 'What's the quickest one we can do?' "
