Avengers: Infinity War - 15 Major Rumours You Need To See
11. Peter Dinklage Is Playing MODOK Or Eitri
Rumour
As per news that Peter Dinklage is in talks to play a key role in Infinity War, a couple of schools of thought have been established. He's either playing MODOK, the long time adversary to the likes of Captain America and Hulk, or he is in fact in negotiations to play Eitri, "the creator of the Infinity Gauntlet" (via Reddit).

Ever since Dinklage was linked with a role, the entire Internet has gone wild trying to guess which diminutive character he must be playing, ignoring the fact that he played Bolivar Trask (who was never previously short), and that he could be playing anyone at all.
The idea of him playing MODOK is lunacy. Yes, it's great casting, but there's no way this would be how Marvel would drop him in, but Eitri, on the other hand is a far more compelling suggestion, given that he would answer why anyone would ever make a weapon of such devastating potential when having even two Stones together is classed as dangerous.
Maybe we'd see him in flashback establishing that he was coerced into making it by Thanos? Maybe he'll explain why there's a second Gauntlet on Asgard? Or maybe he won't be involved at all...
