Peter Dinklage to play villain in ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past.’

Peter Dinklage

Director Bryan Singer recently announced via Twitter that Peter Dinklage, from HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” has joined the cast of X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. It’s unknown which role he’s up for, though sources at Variety say that it’ll be for the main antagonist in the film.

Physically speaking, Dinklage resembles Alpha Flight member Puck, an altered human who is about half the size of the average man, with superhuman strength and enhanced agility. That character definitely doesn’t make sense as a main villain, so stay tuned for confirmation on who he’s actually playing.

Our guesses are Bolivar Trask, Larry Trask, Steven LangSentinels or Nimrod.

Update: A source at MTV Geek says that it may be for Bolivar Trask, creator of the mutant-hunting robots known as Sentinels. They’re not 100% standing behind that claim though, so stay tuned…
