Avengers: Infinity War - 35 Easter Eggs & References Explained

21. Nidavellir & Peter Dinklage

Eitri Peter Dinklage Game Of Thrones

Despite the fact that he learned that he can harness his powers of Lightning without the need of a weapon as a conduit in Thor: Ragnarok, Thor spends a good deal of the movie on a quest to find a weapon powerful enough to deal a significant blow to Thanos.

His answer is to head to Nidavellir, the realm of the dwarves to ask Eitri the king of the dwarves to forge him a weapon. While there, he, Rocket and Groot not only discover that Eitri forged the Infinity Gauntlet but also that the king is played by Peter Dinklage in a brilliant though brief performance.

He's fully channeling his performance as Tyrion for the role with a very similar accent.
