Sean Bean is a noted actor and known for iconic roles, maybe none so well as that of Ned Stark in HBO's Game of Thrones...and the first major character of note to die in the series. Death seems to appeal to him when it comes to choosing roles. In fact, he's even coming to Hitman 2 as the game's first Elusive Target.
Bean takes on the role of Mark Faba, a former MI5 agent that has turned into a rogue assassin. His signature "move" is faking his own death repeatedly, earning him the nickname The Undying. As a result of his wily nature, the International Contract Agency (ICA) has put out a rather substantial bounty on his head.
In the new live-action announcement trailer, Mark Faba, played by Sean Bean, is introduced speaking to his therapist and begins to hint at his unique approach to contract killing, as many random items in the room could potentially serve as useful weapons in Faba’s unorthodox profession. While the session ends badly for Faba’s therapist, the video closes with a familiar character emerging, who has been patiently watching the entire time—the masterful Agent 47. The interactive trailer also asks viewers to vote on three different items referenced throughout the video, which will unlock an exclusive HITMAN 2 weapon later in the campaign.
