Everyone's favorite Danish actor, Mads Mikkelsen, is returning to video games after his role as Clifford Unger in Hideo Kojima's critically acclaimed Death Stranding. As announced at Summer Game Fest this weekend, Mikkelsen is adding a new addition to his video game credits, playing the latest celebrity target in Hitman World of Assassination. At the IOI Showcase earlier this weekend, Mikkelsen shared a fascinating behind-the-scenes tidbit for both this new role and his role as Unger.
"I had no idea what was going on," he admits, when asked if approaching this role was different at all from Death Stranding, or if he just "jumped right back into it." Apparently, this is the one thing both roles had in common. He initially explained how odd it was when recording for Death Stranding to be in a room with no set and wearing the mo-cap gear, which he described as "green tights" and "dots on our faces." Despite being out of his element, Mikkelsen had no problem delivering a solid performance as Unger.
