20 Worst Performances In MCU Movies

20. Peter Dinklage

Character: Eitri

Appeared In: Avengers: Infinity War

If there's one thing the MCU loves, it's jokes. Every one of their films is full of them, for better or for worse, and Avengers: Infinity War was no different. This character was one of the film's biggest jokes. It's the dwarf from Game of Thrones playing a giant space dwarf! It's therefore impossible to take Eitri seriously since he's just a joke.

This is just another lazy attempt to cash in on Game of Thrones' popularity by throwing in one of the actors. This type of cashing-in has never worked and given that we've seen so many disastrous attempts to cash in (Jaime Lannister in The Other Woman, Sansa Stark in X-Men and, worst of all, Dinklage himself in Adam Sandler's Pixels), such attempts will now be met with nothing but disdain.

Having such a brilliant actor turn up, speak a few lines in his Game of Thrones accent and not really do anything is frustrating and distracting more than anything else. As for Dinklage, he's given nothing to do and visually Eitri is unintentionally hilarious. Infinity War is an excellent, excellent movie but this subplot should've been left out.
