Edward Norton to play The Bourne Legacy=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?=s villain?

**

*Edward Norton is close to signing on to play the villain in _The
Bourne Legacy_.*

_Variety_ report that the former _Hulk_ actor is in negotiations for
the mysterious role.

If Norton signs on the dotted line, he’ll be going up against
new franchise lead Jeremy Renner, who’s taking on the hero role
in the Matt Damon-lite system reset.

Directed by Tony Gilroy, _Legacy_ will also star the recently married
Rachel Weisz, and takes place in the same world as the previous
_Bourne_ films – albeit minus their titular hero.

It’s been a while since Norton did something that not only
capitalised on his considerable ability to play a total bastard, but
also got our blood seriously pumping.

_Legacy_ promises to do both those things, and for that it gets a
round of applause.
_The Bourne Legacy_ opens 3 August 2012.
