Last year, Universal secured the exclusive rights to the Jason Bourne character and other titles from creator Ludlum's back catalogue.
Producer Frank Marshall later told ComingSoon that he was considering adapting Ludlum's The Parsifal Mosaic for the fourth Bourne film.
According to Variety, Universal has now entered talks to make Mosaic and Bourne 4 as two separate films. The former centres on a US spy who falls in love with a double agent, while director Paul Greengrass and star Matt Damon will return for an original storyline in the new Bourne instalment.
The last movie in the Matt Damon espionage series, 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum, pulled in more than $400 million at the worldwide box office.
