Marvel: 15 Biggest MCU Rumours You Need To Know (Jan 15th)
14. Peter Dinklage Could Play Pip The Troll (Or MODOK)?
According to Variety Game Of Thrones MVP and former X-Men star Peter Dinklage is being set up for a "key role" in Avengers: Infinity War.
The two main lines of thinking suggest he's either going to play Pip - sidekick to Adam Warlock - or perhaps MODOK, which chiefly seems to stem from his physical appearance rather than anything narrative.
Great casting either way.
Rating: 7/10
The Pip rumour looks very possible if you choose to accept that the Guardians Of The Galaxy Easter Egg hinting at his presence in The Collector's Aladdin's cave are in fact true. But wouldn't Dinklage be better served in a bigger, better role?
MODOK would be interesting, too, though quite how he would play into Infinity War remains to be seen: perhaps Thanos seeks villainous allies on Earth and uncovers MODOK's hatred of Captain America in the process? Or maybe he's just ear-marked for something else entirely?
