Peter Dinklage is fast on his way to becoming the first little person to become a mainstream international star, especially after winning a Golden Globe and Emmy for Game Of Thrones. Now he’s heading into superhero territory as Bryan Singer has tweeted that he’s joined the cast of X-Men: Days Of Future Past.
Singer says, “Officially like to welcome #PeterDinklage from #GameOfThrones to #XMEN #DaysofFuturePast Very very excited!”
Unfortunately there’s no news on who Dinklage will play in the movie, which will bring the First Class actors face-to-face with the future X-Men in a time-travelling plot. The Days Of Future Past comic book storyline sees the future under the control of the Sentinels and mutants living in internment camps. The X-Men of the past are warned about this, as well as the fact they can stop it happening if they prevent an assassination in their time.
First Class’ James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult are all set to return, with original X-Men Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, Hugh Jackman, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore also back in the mutant fold.
A july 18th 2014 3D release has been set.
