He's bloodcurdling."[23]In 2006, Mikkelsen also took the lead role in the Danish dramaAfter the Wedding,which earned anAcademy Awardnomination forBest Foreign Film.[12]Additionally, he won aEuropean Film Award for Best Actornomination for his performance and in 2007, won thePalm Springs International Film FestivalAward for Best Actor.The New York Timesremarked that on the Hollywood scene, Mikkelsen has "become a reliable character actor with an intriguing mug" but stated that on the domestic front "he is something else: a star, an axiom, a face of the resurgent Danish cinema."[24]
In 2008, Mikkelsen portrayed Danish resistance fighterJørgen Haagen SchmithoppositeThure Lindhardtand Stine Stengade in Ole Christian Madsen'sFlame & Citron(Flammen & Citronen), a film which is loosely based on actual events involving two of the most active fighters in theHolger Danske resistance groupduring World War II.[25]Mikkelsen's character nicknamed "Citronen" is named after aCitroënfactory in which he works.[26]Michael O' Sullivan ofThe Washington Postlikened Mikkelsen and Lindhardt's characters toButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kidand said that it is "the story of handsome rogues with guns. It's fast-paced, stylish and thrilling."[26]In 2008, Mikkelsen also provided the voice for the character Le Chiffre in theQuantum of Solacevideo game,and he represented Le Chiffre when he was invited to the launch of Swiss watchmakerSwatch's "007 Villain Collection" inBregenz,Austria.[27]The following year, gaining a reputation as one of Europe's most sensuous male actors, Mikkelsen played a hot-bloodedStravinskyoppositeAnna MouglalisinJan Kounen's critically acclaimedCoco Chanel & Igor Stravinskybased on the romance between the composer and the fashion designer.Empiremagazine described it as a "visually stunning film [which] focuses on Chanel and Stravinsky's illicit relationship in 1920s France."[28]Philip FrenchofThe Observerdescribed 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'sCoco Chanelas a "fellow modernist and equally cool egotist."[29]Mikkelsen then returned to violent action, collaborating once again with Refn, playing a Norse warrior in theCrusadesinValhalla Rising(2009) and Draco, a self-sacrificing leader of the king's guard inClash of the Titans(2010).[12]Valhalla Risingwas shot entirely inScotland.[30]

And it was full of dilemma – he's full of love for both the king and the queen, but then he remains political, starts spinning his tunnel vision, and all of a sudden he's doing the exact same things he hated all the other courtiers for doing, and I thought that was interesting, and very human."[21]In 2012, he was also awarded the Danish American Society's Person of the Year.[33]
