Hideo Kojima’s new best friend, Mads Mikkelsen, features heavily in the new trailer for Death Stranding. To most people, Mikkelsen is best known as the villain in the Doctor Strange movie, if he’s known at all. But the Danish actor already had a thriving fanbase, and they’ve got some feelings about his appearance in Kojima’s trailer.
Prior to Doctor Strange, Mikkelsen was known for his starring role in the television show Hannibal, where he played the cannibalistic therapist. The show, which was developed by critically acclaimed showrunner Bryan Fuller, was never a ratings smash but was a critical darling. The fanbase, while small, was very vocal and passionate.
