This. Is. So. Cool.
Variety is reporting that Peter Dinklage, best known for his starring role as Tyrion Lannister on Game of Thrones, is in talks to join 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War as well as its 2019 untitled sequel.
There’s no word on who the actor could play, but it won’t be his first go around in the Marvel universe. He played Bolivar Trask in X-Men: Days of Future Past, a film that doesn’t connect with the MCU.
Dinklage will be finished with his Game of Thrones shooting by the time Infinity War goes into production, which is expected to be in the next several weeks.
The film, which opens May 4, 2018, will be directed by the Russo Brothers. Almost every character who has previously appeared in, and survived, a MCU movie up until this point is expected to be in it, many of whom will battle Thanos, played by Josh Brolin. Then there will be a sequel — Avengers 4 if you will — on May 3, 2019.
Speculate wildly about Dinklage’s potential role below.

I hope he is cast as MODOK
First thing that came to mind… Unfortunately. But let’s be real, he would actually make a great MODOK
MODOK perhaps?
Puck PLS.
Oh yes, please. Haha! I’d forgotten all about that character until this very moment.
Ant Man?
A guess that isn’t MODOK….. I know! Adam Warlock.
I actually think that would be awesome to watch.

Puck from Alpha Flight? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puck_(Marvel_Comics)
Actually he could make a good Modok too (also seems the most likely too being Modok was from A.I.M. in the comics and they had A.I.M feature in Iron Man 3) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MODOK

I’m not actually sure that Dinklage is actually a good actor. He’s great in GoT, but everything else I’ve seen him in has been average. This is especially true in Destiny, where he was so bad they replaced his voice entirely.
