From the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, Peter Dinklage is about to set foot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A lot of reports are now swirling that the actor who is famously known as Tyrion Lannister is said to be in early talks to join Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Captain America (Chris Evans) in "Avengers: Infinity War."

The news is recently confirmed by Heat Vision, per The Hollywood Reporter. However, as nothing is confirmed yet, Dinklage's role in "Avengers: Infinity War" is not yet revealed. Some say that the "Game of Thrones" star will play a major character and if the deal will be sealed, he is also going to appear in the next "Avengers 4" movie.

Moreover, Dinklage's stint in "Game of Thrones" Season 8 has been moved from summer to fall, thus the 47-year-old actor's schedule can make room for "Avengers: Infinity War." Also, the said film is going to be shot back-to-back with "Avengers 4" sometime in the early months of summer 2017. Meanwhile, there are assumptions of what role the "X-Men: Days of Future Past" star has to take.

According to Slash Film, Dinklage might play an antagonist role opposite Thanos (Josh Brolin). In fact, the "Deadpool" creator Rob Liefeld, although he is not involved in the film, tweeted that he would be portraying as Pip the Troll in "Avengers: Infinity War." The said character was first introduced in February 1975 by Jim Starlin in "Strange Tales" volume 2 #179.

Pip the Roll is the antagonist of Adam Warlock, but he will later meet the other Marvel superheroes. If truth be told, he has played a role in the 1991 "The Infinity Gauntlet" crossover that has been the base of "Avenger: Infinity War." Some also deem that he would be the supervillain MODOK (Mental/Mobile/Mechanized Organism Designed Only for Killing) because of his size.
