Mads Mikkelsen in Casino Royale

Mads Mikkelsen (1965 - )

Film Deaths

• King Arthur (2004) [Tristan]: Dies in the film's climatic battle after a duel with Stellan Skarsgard.

• Casino Royale (2006) [Le Chiffre]: Shot in the forehead by Jesper Christensen on the boat where Mads had been torturing Daniel Craig; we see Jesper fire followed by Mads' face falling in front of the camera. (Thanks to Eric, Andrew, and Conor)

• Flame and Citron (Flammen & Citronen) (2008) [Citronen]: Shot to death by Nazis.

• Valhalla Rising (2009) [One-Eye]: Hacked to death with an axe to the back of the head by tribesmen who presumably decapitate and dismember him as Maarten Stevenson looks on. He later appears as a spirit heading off to the afterlife.

• Clash of the Titans (2010) [Draco]: Turned into stone after looking at Natalia Vodianova and shattered.

• The Three Musketeers (2011) [Captain Rochefort]: Stabbed in the chest during a fight with Logan Lerman.

• A Royal Affair (2012):  [Johann Friedrich Struensee] Executed by beheading.

• Charlie Countryman (2013) [Nigel]: Accidentally shot in the head by a panicking cop (presumably Musat Dragos or Serbanescu Florin) when he suddenly makes a gesture he's going for a gun (presumably committing suicide by cop rather than be arrested). His body is later seen as his wife (Evan Rachel Wood) stands over him (having seen the shooting).

• Rogue One (2016) [Galen Erso]: Fatally wounded in an explosion when Rebel fighters attack the Imperial base Mads is on. He dies with Felicity Jones by his side as they talk.
• Chaos Walking (2021) [David Prentiss] Falls to his death after being pushed down a pit by Daisy Ridley.

TV Deaths

• Hannibal: Tobe-wan (2014) [Hannibal Lecter]: Devoured by Michael Pitt's pigs (off-screen) after Hugh Dancy slits Mads' throat and lowers him into the pen; this is only in Hugh's imagination. Mads survives the episode in reality.

• Hannibal: The Wrath of the Lamb (2015) [Hannibal Lecter]: Falls to his death when Hugh Dancy throws them both off a cliff. (It is unknown if they survived or not, due to this being the last scene in the series and NBC canceling the show.)

Video Game Deaths

• Quantum of Solace (2008) [Le Chiffre]: Shot by his own Quantum agent, it's only shown from the camera phone M (voiced by Judi Dench) watches. (This game combines the storylines of both 2006's Casino Royale and 2008's Quantum of Solace film versions).

• Death Stranding (2019) [Clifford Unger]: Shot in the back by Emily O'Brien (forcing Tommie Earl Jenkins to also fire the gun) prior to the events of the game; he appears as a spirit to his son (Norman Reedus) and his death is later depicted during a flashback that Norman views, which occurs simultaneously with the death of his spirit.

Music Video Deaths

• Bitch Better Have My Money! (2015) [Crime Boss]: Presumably sliced up off-screen by one of the violent women after being taped and tied to his own mansion chair.

Notable Connections

• Brother of Lars Mikkelsen.
• Mr. Hanne Jacobsen (choreographer)
