Actor Mads Mikkelsen is reprising his role as James Bond villain Le Chiffre in a new crossover gaming collaboration between IO Interactive’s “Hitman” video game and the studio’s upcoming “007: First Light” title.

We were all comfortable with Hitman going dark while IO Interactive puts the finishing touches on 007: First Light, but Agent 47 has a bit more gas in the tank. In a surprise collaboration with 007, Mads Mikkelsen has reprised his role as Casino Royale's LeChiffre to become the next elusive target.

The very first villain that James Bond ever fought was the unscrupulous gambler known as Le Chiffre. And, although that first Bond adventure, Casino Royale, was published in 1953, it wasn't until 2006 that we got a really hardcore version of Le Chiffre on the big screen.
