In 2008, Mikkelsen portrayed Danish resistance fighter Jørgen Haagen Schmith opposite Thure Lindhardt and Stine Stengade in Ole Christian Madsen’s Flame & Citron (Flammen & Citronen), a film which is loosely based on actual events involving two of the most active fighters in the Holger Danske resistance group during World War II. Mikkelsen’s character nicknamed “Citronen” is named after a Citroën factory in which he works. Michael O’ Sullivan of The Washington Post likened Mikkelsen and Lindhardt’s characters to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and said that it is “the story of handsome rogues with guns. It’s fast-paced, stylish and thrilling.” In 2008, Mikkelsen also provided the voice for the character Le Chiffre in the Quantum of Solace video game, and he represented Le Chiffre when he was invited to the launch of Swiss watchmaker Swatch’s “007 Villain Collection” in Bregenz, Austria. The following year, gaining a reputation as one of Europe’s most sensuous male actors, Mikkelsen played a hot-blooded Stravinsky opposite Anna Mouglalis in Jan Kounen’s critically acclaimed Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky based on the romance between the composer and the fashion designer. Empire magazine described it as a “visually stunning film [which] focuses on Chanel and Stravinsky’s illicit relationship in 1920s France.” Philip French of The Observer described the film as a “beautiful, intelligent, shallow film, like a pane of plate glass that at first glance looks like a deep lake”, and remarked that Mikkelsen’s Stravinsky matched Mouglalis’s Coco Chanel as a “fellow modernist and equally cool egotist.” Mikkelsen then returned to violent action, collaborating once again with Refn, playing a Norse warrior in the Crusades in Valhalla Rising (2009) and Draco, a self-sacrificing leader of the king’s guard in Clash of the Titans (2010). Valhalla Rising was shot entirely in Scotland.
