It was revealed in early January that Marvel Studios is courting the legendary Peter Dinklage to appear in Infinity War, to the delight of nerds everywhere.

It didn't take long for speculation to run rampant on who the Game of Thrones star might be playing, but the overwhelming majority of fans seem to believe he might be up for MODOK (that's Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing), a grotesquely mutated fan favourite supervillain.

Fanboy conjecture is so often wrong, though, so it's entirely possible he's playing somebody else from Marvel's immense roster of characters, or perhaps even an original creation. That's assuming the talks don't fall through, of course.
