Oh hell yes. Everyone’s favorite dwarf (sorry, Wee Man), Peter Dinklage has joined the cast of X-Men 4 Subheading B, Future Pasts of Passed Futures Predicting Future Gross. Or, as it’s known in the lamestream media, X-Men: Days of Futures Past, which trades director Matthew Vaughn for X-Men 1 & 2 director Bryan Singer. Singer made the Dinklage announcement himself on Twitter.
Officially like to welcome #PeterDinklage from #GameOfThrones to #XMEN #DaysofFuturePast Very very excited!

Singer didn’t say what character Dinklage might play, and none of the usual news outlets seem to know either. I don’t know much about the comic books myself, but I think it’d be cool if Dinklage played a new type of mutant, who has the power to transform himself into a dwarf but not back again.
(Including the gif of Tyrion slapping the piss out of Joffrey, because obviously).

I thought it was smart removing Vaughn so none of the leading ladies get all pregnant and stuff, but now all them wenches gotta watch out for Tyrion. His spear never misses.
Whoa… what about Jordan Prentice from In Bruges? Okay, he’s no Dinklage, but he’s ahead of Wee Man for sure.
What do you have against Wee Man?
Nothing against Wee Man. He’s #3 in my book. But did Wee Man ever karate chop Colin Farrell and get shot in the face? I think not. Case closed.
I meant karate chopped BY Colin Farrell. Still stands.
You should have included the gif from last season where he straight up punches that bitch. That would made this post perfect.
He’s gonna be Jack Jack from the Incredibles..cross promotion and covers the “Don’t work with kids” thing.
Puck from Alpha Flight?
Co-sign. That would be awesome.
I JUST thought that. And of course Ron Perlman as Sasquatch. No make up necessary.
He could be Puck from Alpha Flight, but don’t remember him in the story line, and he was never an x-man
No, but Wolverine was in Alpha Flight before X-Men.
Yeah, but of all the ppl from alpha, besides wolverine, why puck? Unless they show all of Alpha flight. Seems like too many characters for one movie. Maybe he could be Modok???
I think he would make a good MODOK, even though I highly doubt that’s his role in this movie.
I think I saw stills of Ellen Page tugging him around on a leash (Lockheed, maybe?)
Ha, no, not stills. Probably an ether dream. Never mind.
What about Toad?
God I hope he’s Apocalypse.
he’d make a great Galactus!
Could be the Watcher
Well this painting made last year by Brandon Bird just became more appropriate.

Fuck yeah! Hell, hight wise he’s probably closer than Hugh Jackman.
He’ll probably be Arcade! Duh!
Shot in the dark – voice work for Mr. Sinister
Money bet – Puck
mini-Cable!
This is cool news, but we need to get on the casting of Psylocke right away.
They can get Heath Ledger to play “Future Professor X”!
Now that we know Vaughn isn’t making the new Star Wars movie, I’m curious. What the hell is his next project? He left two money franchises after a terrific (in my opinion) start. I just don’t get it.
