Avengers: Infinity War - 15 Last Minute Rumours You Must See

15. Peter Dinklage Is Playing Eitri, King Of The Dwarves

The Rumour: Peter Dinklage's still-under-wraps role in Infinity War will see him playing Eitri, the King of the Dwarves, who is responsible for forging Thor's (Chris Hemsworth) new weapon - named in Lego sets as "Stormbreaker" - when the Asgardian pays him a visit in the realm of Nidavellir.

How Likely Is It?: Though it originally seemed like Dinklage might be voicing one of Thanos' (Josh Brolin) children, Corvus Glaive, the Russo brothers have since confirmed that actor Michael Shaw will be voicing that character.

This makes it decidedly more likely that Dinklage is actually playing a live-action role, and considering that set leaks have shown Dinklage getting his hair dyed orangey-red, that would be a perfect fit for Eitri.

Then again, you can't discount the possibility he's playing Pip the Troll - who also sports red-ish hair - though the role of a Dwarf King and master weapon-forger sounds like a way more crowd-pleasing fit for an actor of Dinklage's popularity. It's probably true. 8/10
