Locked AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR v.1 (New Set Photos)

Peter Dinklage!

What, are they painting him purple so he can play Thanos' dick?

 

[KnightTemplar]

Yeah, I mean I like Dinklage and all, but they act like there's a shortage of actors you can cast in Marvel Comics movies.

Bad enough Alfre Woodard was Black Mariah on Cage after she was the dead soldier's mom in Civil War. Though I guess in that case the small role probably opened up the larger one...

He wasn't a soldier. He was a student on a gap year. Stark mentions that instead of going to Vegas or Amsterdam like he would have done, the kid decided to, "put some miles on his soul" and help build affordable housing in Sokovia.

Not sure why more people don't realize dinklage is exceptionally bad and terribly overrated as an actor. I guess they fall in love with his role/character as tyrion and give him all kinds of credit for it. Everything I've seen him in is completely ham-fisted and stilted. He has zero range and no diversity. His voice was so terrible in "destiny" that they took him out and replaced him with someone else.

I'm also not terribly thrilled by his addition to the project. Dinklage is great as Tyrion, but I haven't cared for him everything else I've seen him do. He might be ok in this though, because Pip isn't a very serious character to begin with, so it's not like Dinklage can "ruin" his portrayal.

I don't think he's that bad but he is overrated. I think he's an average actor overall but pretty damn good at his role in GOT.

The reason for this rare double MCU casting snafu is that the head of Marvel Studios (Kevin Feige) and Marvel Television (Ike Perlmutter) are not on good terms.

I hate this. This would open up the MCU so much if they all just got along. Do you know where the beef first started between the two?

Perlmutter is a known cheapskate and an un-progressive thinker around the comic book industry and Hollywood. His frugal behind-the-scenes handiwork and narrow-mindedness frustrated Feige who felt handicapped and had to find creative ways around the restrictions.

So when Feige got promoted where he would no longer be under Perlmutter but answer directly to Disney's Alan Horn, that's when the movie and TV world's relationship turn sour. Some of the fallout was there's no longer any crossover between the two worlds and the Inhumans movie was scrapped and is now a television series.

Kind of feeling Uatu, but zero lines there, so maybe a waste.

Pip, or unknown alien, is most likely.

He delivered a groundbreaking performance in Elf.

 

[Anung Un Rama]

I hope Thanos is just a robot and that Dinklage is the real Thanos - no cgi, and has been doing this all with smoke and mirrors because he finds the stones very pretty.

 

[Kirin]

I don't think he's that bad but he is overrated. I think he's an average actor overall but pretty damn good at his role in GOT.

Kinda reminds me of Jennifer Lawrence in that sense. She was really good in the silver linings playbook but really pedestrian in everything else I've seen her in. I cringed when I saw the preview for passengers and heard her dialogue.

Thanks.

Such BS. I want to see the Defenders/AoS hand in hand with the Avengers damn it!! lol

The Will Ferrell movie? I dont even remember him being in that.

 

[Canned Tuna]

He has like 3 minutes of screen time and beats up will Ferrell

 

[emceeGRENDEL]

Dinklage as Pip

Spoiler: and..

 

[Adamant]

You're waaaaay too emo for movies

Meh, I'd call it passion.

 

[irish_thug]

The Marvel Cinematic Universe and Fox's X-Men Universe are separate, so I don't mind seeing a good actor joining the MCU.


It's the other way around actually. Alfre was cast in Luke Cage first (Sept. 2015) while her small Civil War part was first reported on April 2016.

The reason for this rare double MCU casting snafu is that the head of Marvel Studios (Kevin Feige) and Marvel Television (Ike Perlmutter) are not on good terms.

it's all the marvel universe to me

 

[SingerAuto]

She's the ultimate bitch. Instead of allowing Thanos to die, and thus be with her, she "curses" him with immortality. So he can never be with the women he loves.

When Thanos finally became sick of being Cosmic Friend Zoned, she prick-teased him into falling for her once again. At one point she appears to him in the form of a small girl.

Death, "Do you find my appearance...discomforting?"

Thanos(refuses to look at her)"Yes".

Death, "Lesson learned, Thanos of Titan. I am Death; I am not off comfort."

What comic is that from?

 

[SingerAuto]

She's Betty Ross from the Hulk movie.



Thanos or Hela is gonna dangle his soul in front of Wanda to get her to join them.

Totally forgot she was Betty in the Norton Hulk movie. Whoops.

I'd much rather see her as Death tho, what's the purpose of bringing Ross back into the MCU? I know Thunderbolt played a big part in CW, but aside from welcoming Banner back, why include her? In an already overstuff movie, bringing back Betty screams trite love triangle to me.

Word on the street is that on top of all that Perlmutter is an insufferable and irredeemable asshole.
