Sean Bean will die again in his next role – as a Hitman 2 elusive target

Sean Bean is about to die on-screen one more time, as Hitman 2’s first elusive target. The actor, who is particularly well-known for the sheer number of films in which his character dies, will feature in the assassination game when it launches next month. Hitman’s elusive targets are part of the game’s offerings as an ongoing service. While story missions allow you to kill the same targets over and over again, elusive targets are only available for a limited amount of time, and you only get one chance to kill them. Bean won’t be the first celebrity to feature in this way - character-actor Gary Busey was available as an elusive target in Hitman’s Sapienza mission back in 2016. In a trailer released this afternoon, Bean - who played Boromir in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - can be seen talking to a psychiatrist. The actor will be playing a former MI5 agent turned freelance assassin, Mark Faba, who became infamous as a master of faking his own death.
