Will Dinklage play Puck in DAYS OF FUTURE PAST?


Bryan Singer announced yesterday that Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage will appear in the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past film. Singer made this announcement via twitter, because apparently that’s something people do nowadays. Singer’s tweet did not specify who Dinklage will be playing in the film, leaving plenty of room for speculation. If it were up to me Dinklage would play Tyrion Lannister in this film (and in every film ever made from this moment onward) but I’m guessing that Bryan Singer doesn’t take my emotional needs into account when he makes casting decisions.

Nordling over at Ain’t It Cool suggested that Dinklange might play the diminutive Canadian superhero Puck. A fair guess, but not one I’m betting on. Puck is a minor hero at best and I’m fairly positive he doesn’t play any role in the original Days of Future Past story.

Whatever role Dinklage does end up taking, he’ll be joining most of the cast of both Singer’s X-Men Films and Vaughn’s prequel X-Men: First Class, including Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan (squee!) as well as Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Jackman, Michael Fassbender, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, James McAvoy, Anna Paquin, Halle Berry, and James Marsden (no word on whether Allen Cumming or Famke Janssen are returning).
