Avengers: Infinity War - 10 Possibilities For The Secret New Character

3. MODOK

The other big suggestion of who Peter Dinklage could be playing, MODOK would be a long-awaited addition to the MCU if The Russos chose to include him as a secondary villain.

With rumours of other villains potentially appearing to align with Thanos, it wouldn't be particularly surprising for some of the galaxy's most nefarious minds to see the opportunity to rule in the wasteland he carves. And MODOK is one of the highest billed Marvel villains yet to appear on screen in any way.

Crucially, back in 2011, Infinity War screenwriter Christopher Markus confirmed that not only was MODOK the villain he most wanted to appear in the MCU, he also said he'd cast Dinklage if he could:

“I love MODOK and I think you could make a terrifying movie with MODOK but nobody seems to be on my side at the momentum… I will win you over to Peter Dinklage as MODOK. If he came around the corner and you saw him floating there you would be terrified. It would be amazing.”
