Should Rob Be The Next Jason Bourne?

Production is rapidly forging ahead on the upcoming fourth entry in the popular �Bourne� franchise, directed by Tony Gilroy.

Here�s what we know: the movie, slated to come out in 2012, is called �The Bourne Legacy� and will further explore the series mythology by introducing a new bad guy assassin who is tangled up with the mysterious government agency Treadstone. And Matt Damon won�t be starring in it.

And because Damon won�t be there, �Bourne Legacy� won�t have Bourne in it at all. Instead, it�ll feature an all-new superspy as the main character living in his world. This got us to thinking � who in Hollywood has the stones to step into Damon�s iconic shoes?

The possibilities are pretty much endless � Joseph Gordon-Levitt? Alex O�Laughlin? Seth Rogen? � but we�ve managed to narrow it down to a few worthy finalists.  Here, then, are our top picks for the role of America�s top secret agent:

1. Mark Wahlberg 

2. Idris Elba 

3. Chris Pine  

4. Noomi Rapace  

5. Jake Gyllenhaal

6. Robert Pattinson

Let�s think: what does the star of a �Bourne� movie need to do? He needs to be able to pull off action sequences; he needs to be able to do some deep brooding; and he needs to do both while looking good. A brooding, good looking action star? That�s what Pattinson�s business cards say, people. Could there be a more perfect fit for the part than RPattz? We didn�t think so either.

7. Donald Glover
