8 Awesome Movie Crossovers That Need To Happen

3. James Bond/Jason Bourne

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? We€™ll never really know for sure but a throw down between MI6€™s greatest agent and Treadstone€™s most lethal weapon is likely to be just as unpredictable. For 40 years, James Bond was the World€™s Greatest Secret Agent. John Steed (The Avengers- not, not those Avengers) was good. Ethan Hunt (Mission Impossible) was outstanding. But no one ever came close to 007. That is, until 2002 and The Bourne Identity, which didn€™t just reset the benchmark for the superspy genre so much as destroy it completely. Sure, Bond was amazing with his trusty Walther PPK and a suitcase full of Q€™s gadgets but could he take out someone with a ball pen? And thus was born the Bond vs. Bourne debate and the gradual €˜Bourne-ification€™ of James Bond starting with Casino Royale, which featured a 007 less reliant on gadgets than on sheer brute force. But imagine this: Jason Bourne officially declared a threat to the United Kingdom thanks to Treadstone€™s machinations. Enter 007, whose mission is quite simply to find and kill Bourne with extreme prejudice. This could be the superspy version of good-guys-fighting-each-other-before-teaming-up-to-take-down-the-bad-guy. Daniel Craig€™s Bond is a secret agent who is not averse to making his own decisions, even at the risk of ticking off his commanding officer, thereby making a team-up with Bourne very much in character. The ultimate action movie? You better believe it. Awesomeness Level: 9/10
