2 James Bond Stars Officially Reunite in the Sleeper Hit Western Leaving Paramount+
Mads Mikkelsen and Eva Green, who previously appeared together in Casino Royale as a Bond villain and love interest, reunited in the 2014 Western The Salvation, which is now leaving Paramount+ on 31 August 2026. The film's departure comes as Westerns are enjoying a resurgence in popularity, largely credited to Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone franchise, which has revived interest in both classic Westerns and overlooked entries from the 2000s and 2010s, such as this one.
Directed by Kristian Levring, a co-founder of the Dogme 95 filmmaking movement, The Salvation follows a Danish war veteran in America who seeks revenge after his family is murdered by henchmen working for a villain played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. The cast also includes former footballer Eric Cantona and Game of Thrones actor Jonathan Pryce. Though it received mixed-to-positive reviews on release, the film has since gained recognition as a sleeper hit amid renewed appetite for the genre.
