Peter Dinklage May Join 'X-Men: Days Of Future Past'

Posted byBy Kim Burnell | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

X-Men director, Bryan Singer, has his sights set on Peter Dinklage for  X-Men: Days Of Future Past.  Nothing is confirmed yet, but according to a Deadline.com exclusive, if Singer has his way, Dinklage will join the cast.

Peter Dinklage has an Emmy for his performance as Tyron Lannister on the popular HBO series Game of Thrones. The actor also voiced Captain Gutt in Ice Age: Continental Drift, played Liz Lemon’s short-term boyfriend on 30 Rock, and a children’s book editor with a short fuse in the holiday favorite, Elf. 

Including Dinklage in the the mix would add yet another power player in an already stacked cast. Singer has some of the biggest names in Hollywood already on board. This years biggest Oscar nominees, Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Lawrence, are slated to appear, alongside Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, AND Michael Fassbender. Who knows who else Singer might recruit for the latest installment of the franchise, but his use of so many dynamic actors and actresses is sure to please a variety of different demographics.

Now on to the better question, just who would Peter Dinklage portray? Tell us your thoughts below!

 

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
