Sean Bean Featured in Live Action Hitman 2 Trailer as an Elusive Target

Have you ever wanted to kill Boromir? Now you can! Actor Sean Bean will be featured as an exclusive target in the upcoming Hitman 2.

In an announcement video by developer IO Interactive, we see Mr. Bean playing the role of Mark "The Undying" Faba, a former MI5 agent who's turned to freelance assassinations. The live-action trailer features Faba talking with his therapist. His character will be an "Elusive Target" in the game, a special mission that is only available for a limited time.



Bean has been in the film industry since 1983. Notable roles include Boromir from Lord of the Rings, Alec Trevelyan in the James Bond film GoldenEye, and Odysseus in Troy. Over time, he had established a reputation as someone who always dies on camera. Everything from trampling, to gunshots, to decapitation, it's happened to him. What better than to make him the target of a Hitman?

He's no stranger to video games, or even to Hitman! Aside from being the narrator of Hitman 2, Sean Bean has provided voice content for a number of games, including Sid Meier's Civilization VI, Train Simulator 2014, and even The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Hitman 2 is coming to PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One on November 20.
