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.

While IO Interactive stays hard at work on 007 First Light, the team made an appearance at Summer Game Fest 2025 to reveal another James Bond tribute that will see Hitman World of Assassination players taking out Mads Mikkelsen’s character from Casino Royale.
