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

I'm 34 years old, live in New Delhi (India) and spend most of my time reading comics, listening to obnoxiously loud metal and playing with my dog (who does not like the obnoxiously loud metal). I work in advertising, though I use the term 'work' very loosely. Being a child of the 80s & 90s, I love cheesy hair metal, cheesy TV shows featuring talking cars and cheesy action movies. I also love different types of cheese, Gouda being a particular favourite. I've been collecting comic books since I was 7 and am a fan boy par excellence. Don't judge me.
