Mads Mikkelsen will be reprising his role as a fan-favourite villain from the world of James Bond in a "thrilling" new project. The actor starred opposite Daniel Craig as the menacing Le Chiffre in 2006's Casino Royale, which followed the MI6 agent in his bid to bring down a major terrorist organisation via a high-stakes poker game.

Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen is reprising one of his best-known roles in a unique collaboration between the James Bond franchise and the Hitman video game series.

Hitman’s next target has been revealed and it’s none other than Mads Mikkelsen in the role of Casino Royale villain Le Chiffre.
