Through some posts on social media, it is being speculated that actor Mads Mikkelsen has joined the video game Death Stranding from Hideo Kojimam who tweeted a behind the scenes photo of the game with an image of an actor undergoing what looks like facial/body capture. Check out the tweet…

It is pretty unclear who the actor is in the image Kojima shared; however a fan posed with Mikkelsen on the same day and it appears the the actor is wearing identical or at least similar clothing.

Instagram user @jmerskine1 was asked where the photo was taken to which he said ‘Sheffield! He’s acting in a video game.’ This does not confirm that the game he is Mikkelsen is working on is Death Stranding and could simply be another project.

Kojima has also tweeted in the past about how much he admires Mikkelsen as an actor as well as being photographed with him as San Diego Comic Con last month. Even just last week Kojima retweeted this post from Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller which features the actor.

Mikkelsen was also spotted hanging out with Norman Reedus at San Diego Comic Con last month, with Reedus already confirmed as having a role in the game.

Unfortunately this is not solid evidence that Mads Mikkelsen will appear in Death Stranding, so until we have confirmation from Kojima himself we need to take this with a pinch of salt.
