After the recent boom in the superhero genre, you would be hard pressed to find an actor who hasn’t starred in a comic book movie at some point, as such some actors end up in more than one franchise.
The latest actor to experience this situation looks set to be Game of Thrones actor, Peter Dinklage, who is currently being lined up for a key role in the MCU. Read on to find out more.
Variety is reporting that Dinklage, whose last appearance in a superhero film was as Bolivar Trask in 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, is set to land a role in the upcoming, Avengers: Infinity War and it’s currently untitled sequel.
The site reveals that with the production on the seventh season of the hit show Game of Thrones recently completed, Dinklage currently has time available in his schedule to shoot both films which are expected to film back to back. Marvel have yet to comment on the actor’s potential casting.
Unfortunately the publication doesn’t reveal who the actor is set to portray, but some fans have speculated it to be ‘Pip the Troll’ – a character from the cosmic side of the Marvel universe who appeared in the Infinity Saga, consisting of The Infinity Gauntlet, Infinity War and Infinity Crusade. However – until we get an official confirmation, who he will be portraying is something that fans can speculate.
You can see Dinklage join the already impressive cast in Avengers: Infinity War when it hits theaters May 4th, 2018 and it’s untitled sequel on May 3rd, 2019
