Alicia Vikander is divulging a bit about her character in the new Bourne 5 movie.

“I’m not doing the conventional action but I’m very action-driven in this film,” Vikander told The Wrap. “But it’s not in the way most people would think.”

The actress also compared the sets from her previous The Danish Girl to Bourne 5. She said that working on the Bourne set was a “new experience” for her.

“I came from Sweden where it’s like 30, 40 people, and here on ‘The Danish Girl,’ doing a British film, it’s 100, and then you end up on these sets, and I know on Monday or Tuesday we’re going to have 1,600 extras just in one scene,” she said.

The 27-year-old also mentioned that the film will take place in many different locations including places in Europe, Washington, D.C. and Las Vegas. She also mentioned that she was one of Matt Damon‘s biggest fans.

“I hadn’t met Matt, I was just the biggest fan,” she said of Damon, who is nominated for an Oscar for his role in The Martian, as well as Vikander. “He’s very funny on set and then he’s just extremely cool as Bourne, but we all know that.”

The new thriller, which also stars Vincent Cassel and Julia Stiles, is set for a July release.
