Mads Mikelsen as Overgard in Arctic (2018). Mads was born in Copenhagen, and has 59 acting credits from a 1996 Danish short to 2023. His entry among my best 1001 is Casino Royale (as villainous Le Chiffre).
His other notable credits include King Arthur (2004 with Clive Owen), Clash of the Titans, The Three Musketeers, A Royal Affair, The Hunt, 39 episodes of Hannibal (as Hannibal Lecter), Doctor Strange, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.

Mads Mikelsen shall not be in DS2, as per Kojima-san's twitter.
Makes sense, since Cliff's story arc is resolved.

Good Vibes Challange:The Four Muskateers
@the-blue-fairie @themousefromfantasyland @amalthea9 @princesssarisa @angelixgutz @filmcityworld1 @ariel-seagull-wings
@goodanswerfoxmonster reccomended this one and boy was it fun
So havent read the book The Three Muskateers ,but I have seen the 1948 film starring Gene Kelley ,Lana Turner and Vincent PRice (Which maybe my favorite),BOTH Disney versions (Both the animated one with Mickey Mouse and the live action one with human cartoon Tim Curry ) and the 2011 one with Mads Mikelsen ,Christoph Waltz and two actors I often mistake for each other ,Luke Evans and Orlando Bloom .
PErhaps the most relevent thing is I have seen the 1973 film the Three Muskateers,which this is the sequel of....sort of.....They were supposed to be the same film ,but in the editing got turned into two films .Of the Three MuskateersI quite enjoyed that film,I enjoyed how tangible the setting was ,I like the fight choreography ,and the cast wa superb....The flaw was while director Richard Lesters quirky humor worked sometimes,he kind of overdid it a few time (A common problem I have with his work ) and some of the characters,notably Aramis as played by Richard Chamberlain
Nowonto the plot of this 1974 film ,taking place during the Anglo French war ,D'artagnan (Michael York ) has gone and pissed off Milady de Winter (FAye Dunaway ) who vows to kill him and his lover Constance (Raquel Welch )
Well the strengths of this movie are,,,,Pretty much the strengths of the first movie.I like how immersive the setting ,you really feel like you are in another century .The fight choreography feels very feral and almost on the spot ,I especially admire a fight scene on ice and the final duel between Miladys lover Roquefort played by Christopher Lee and D'artagnan ,where they both look exhausted by the end .Cast is on point ,Michael York's naivete (As well as some writing that softens the character ) help turn D'Artagnan from a douche canoe to an engaging though very much falwed protagonist ,Oliver Reed is very solid ,ROy Kinnear and Frank Finaly bring levity ,and Christopher Lee is wonderfully menacing (And you get to see his impressive sword fighting skills )
Where this improves on the first film is I think the character work is better ,we get to spend more tim with these guys .I also think Charlton Heston who I found miscast in the first film is actually really good here as the greater scope villain .Also Richard Chamberlain actually gets to do stuff in this film,and I love his dynamic with Frank Finlay.The scene stealer however is Faye Dunaway ,who is more or less the main villain who bring a manipulative menace to her role
I have a few major issues and one is that is Raquel Welch feels wasted ,and while Book accurate ,I dont think her final fate works with the films tone . The other big issue is....The same as the first film,the comedy can sometimes ruin a scene
I retract an issue I had when I reviewed the first film where I called the Muskateers too much of jerks....Because it occurred to me they are supposed to be a bit unlikeable but be engaginf and I think both films accomplish that
Overall I had a very good time
