A consideration of the muse via TV Tropes
//Mun comments: these are based on my interpretation of and headcanons for the muse, not just canon events.
Appearance/Physical
American Accents - though Bobby himself is from South Dakota, his accent definitely hints towards a more typically southern redneck. Badass Beard - one of his most distinctive features.  Blue Eyes - sometimes Icy Blue Eyes. Generally when he’s getting particularly enraged. Nice Hat - Bobby is almost never seen without one of his beloved trucker caps.  Older Than They Look - Bobby is in his late fifties when the Winchester boys show up asking for help, and by the Apocalypse he’s sixty. He’s grizzled and clearly not in his prime any more, but is still younger-looking, tougher and much more physically capable than a guy his age would usually be. Seriously Scruffy - Bobby’s usual outfit is heavily worn and frayed clothes - usually jeans, t-shirts and flannel - that he’s owned for a very long time.
Personality Traits
A Friend In Need / The Reliable One - One of Bobby’s defining traits is that no matter what, if someone calls on him for help, he will do whatever it takes to give that help. Even if he’s freaking DEAD. Badass Grandpa - Bobby’s out there fighting evil well into his sixties. Brutal Honesty - He doesn’t really do sugar-coating very well, so if he’s presented with something and asked his opinion he will often be very blunt about what he thinks of it. Catch Phrase - His go-to swearword is “Balls!” and he often expresses his annoyance (or affection) by calling someone an “idjit”.  Character Alignment - Chaotic Good. Bobby gives absolutely zero fucks about legal or illegal, but he’s absolutely committed to helping the fight against evil and is basically a decent and kind person. Combat Pragmatist - He doesn’t fight in a bid to impress anybody, he just aims to take his opponent down and make them stop fighting back as fast as possible, and has no qualms about fighting dirty to get the result. Crazy-Prepared / Properly Paranoid - Bobby regularly doses visitors with holy water, keeps guns to fire several different types of monster-slaying ammunition, and has built a panic room in his basement, made of solid iron coated with salt, that is demon- and spirit-proof. He has also made several copies of all his priceless books and stashed them in safehouses around the country, just in case something happens to the collection in his house. And he does it all because he knows it could happen. He’s even described himself as a “paranoid bastard”. Deadpan Snarker - A fundamental aspect of his personality. No matter what situation, he usually manages to come up with a sarcastic or snarky quip. This can lead to Snark-To-Snark Combat breaking out, especially if it’s Crowley he’s talking to. Determinator - He just will not lie down and die. Even when a bullet to the head puts him in a coma, he spends the entire time evading and holding off the Reaper coming after him so he can warn Sam and Dean about the Leviathans’ plans. Encyclopaedic Knowledge - He’s done so much studying that he’s able to reel off facts about rare monsters, cast spells and recite exorcisms, and draw a number of sigils from memory.  Forgets To Eat / Must Have Caffeine - Bobby regularly stays up pulling all-nighters in order to do research for a fellow hunter, and in such cases will often subsist on strong coffee and/or caffeine pills. This has left him with a reliance on coffee that’s almost as bad as his drinking problem. Genius Bruiser - He looks and often acts like a typical dumb redneck, but spends most of his time at home with his books, doing research for others; when called on to join the fight directly, Bobby proves himself as capable of kicking ass as hunters half his age. Good Is Not Dumb - He might be on the side of the good guys, but Bobby sure as hell is not stupid. Good Is Not Soft / Good Is Not Nice - While he has dedicated his life to helping others and saving lives, and is gentle and caring to those in need, Bobby is also a cranky, short-tempered alcoholic who lives on his own and gives everyone, including the law, angels, and Satan himself an attitude. He’s also not likely to spare enemies out of the goodness of his heart, either - the few antagonists who manage to escape his retribution are usually the ones who talk the quickest and convince him they’re worth sparing. Otherwise he’ll finish them off without blinking. Grumpy Old Man - Has definite shades of this, though often as not he’s just playing it up, for the sake of a cover or to amuse people. Gut Feeling - Bobby’s instincts are usually spot on and he’s learned to rely on them reasonably heavily, to the point where he can usually guess within seconds if someone he knows is possessed by a demon or otherwise not actually themself. Of course, being paranoid, he’ll generally follow his guess up with a test to see how right he is. Handicapped Badass - During the year he spends wheelchair-bound; although he’s no longer able to actively hunt, his mind is as quick as ever and he’s still a crack shot. Jerk with a Heart of Gold - Famously bad-tempered, antisocial, yells at people who ask him for help and calls them stupid, regularly gets arrested and has no respect for... pretty much anyone. Also one of the key players in the attempt to head off the Apocalypse, who loves the weird little family he’s got with all his heart and will do anything for them. Knight In Sour Armor - Yeah, the world sucks and pretty much everything is horrible apart from a few little warm spots... but he’ll step up to fight for its right to exist time and time again, because that’s the right thing to do. Mr. Fixit - As well as earning his living as a mechanic and salvage yard owner, Bobby is able to turn his hand to a number of other practical skills; he’s successfully modified several guns to fire specialised ammunition, and built the panic room in his basement himself, during “a weekend off”. He’s also proven to be very capable when it comes to installing booby traps and surprises around his house, including a trapdoor outside the hall closet that drops straight into the basement and a specially strengthened basement door to keep whoever got dropped in from getting back out.  Nerves Of Steel - He’s faced down dozens, maybe hundreds, of monsters over the years, armed with a few weapons and his wits and, if he was really lucky, someone competent running backup. He’s even intervened in a showdown between the archangels Michael and Lucifer, though that didn’t go terribly well for him. Not much fazes him now. Old Master - Bobby has likely fought, researched and warded off more monsters than Sam and Dean put together, and is known to be THE person to go to if you need help tackling something you don’t recognise. Omniglot - He speaks several languages, including Japanese and Latin, and is able to decipher and translate a huge number of written languages. Only Sane Man - He often feels like this, especially after dealing with hunters who have managed to completely fail at displaying common sense. Physical Scars, Psychological Scars - Bobby has picked up scars from all sorts of monster encounters over the years, many of them reminders of what went wrong on the hunt. He also still has some old scars from his childhood, as his father used to beat him with a belt. Self-Surgery - Given he prefers to avoid the authorities unless it’s really serious, Bobby will generally patch himself up with needle, thread and a bottle of Jack Daniels. Street Smart - Studious as he can be, Bobby is also a capable survivalist and very savvy at bluffing his way into situations - or out of them. Taught By Experience / Seen It All - Bobby’s one of the best in the hunting community simply because he’s made it his business to be. He’s encountered monsters very few others have, he’s studied countless texts to find weaknesses nobody else knew about... and he’s closely linked to the Winchesters, who seem to get targeted by all the weirdest things out there. Which he takes as a learning opportunity. It’s not often he actually gets startled by something. Talented But Trained - He’s a very smart man, that’s absolutely certain, but many of his skills are what he’s picked up over a long, rough life, and he’s honed them till they’re sharp as a razor. The Alcoholic / Drowning My Sorrows - He’s turned to alcohol to cope with the horrific things he’s dealt with, from an abusive childhood to killing his possessed wife to the deaths caused because he wasn’t quite quick enough to take down the monster he was hunting. The Kirk - Usually plays this role between cool, logical Sam and hot-headed emotional Dean. Undying Loyalty - Literally, in his case; he takes lethal injuries several times, at least one of which was deliberately self-inflicted, and still keeps trying to help his boys in any way he can. Workaholic - He doesn’t often take a break from working, at least not for very long. Wouldn’t Hurt A Child / Friend To All Children - One of his more likeable traits - after the horrendous upbringing he had, Bobby will go above and beyond to make sure any kids he spends time around feel as safe as possible. He’s gentle, affectionate, and respectful of their thoughts and feelings, especially if their own parents are harsh.
Personal History
Abusive Parents / Alcoholic Parent - Bobby’s father Ed was a drunk who thought nothing of being verbally and physically abusive, punching his wife and regularly taking his belt to his son. By the time Bobby hit his teens, his mother was also blaming him for his dad’s violence. Back From The Dead - Bobby was killed by Lucifer while trying to help buy time for Sam to regain control of his own body. Castiel, newly resurrected himself, brought him back minutes later after the crisis was over. Bobby will occasionally refer to it as “that time I died” or something along those lines. Calling The Old Man Out - He finally snaps and intervenes with a rifle when his father begins beating his mother, demanding Ed leave her alone. When Ed taunts him and threatens to deal with him, Bobby pulls the trigger. Later in life, trapped in a coma, Bobby sees his father again in the memory and confronts him, fiercely claiming to be far better than Ed told him he was. Dead Partner - This applies to a number of Bobby’s old hunting friends who have died over the years, most notably John Winchester, Ellen Harvelle and Rufus Turner, all of whom he had a particular bond with. Deal With The Devil - Technicaly a deal with a demon, but the same principle. When Lucifer is on the verge of triumphing in the bid to start the Apocalypse, Bobby sells - or, technically, pawns - his soul to Crowley for the final key piece of information that gives them a fighting chance. He also regains the ability to walk, though that was more of a generous freebie on Crowley’s part. (Naturally, Crowley does not keep his side of the agreement, and later has to be threatened about it.) Fighting From The Inside - When possessed by a demon trying to kill Dean, Bobby manages to put up enough of a fight to turn the blade on himself. Hero Secret Service - Technically the hunting community could count as this. Although they are not organised and have no authority figures, Bobby is a major persona within the ranks. Only Child Syndrome - With no siblings around, Bobby took the full brunt of his parents’ abuse; he never really understood why, but his mother once hinted that he was too much hard work on his own for them to handle having another kid on top. Survivor Guilt - Regarding pretty much everyone he knows who gets killed. His attitude is always I should have done better.
Romance & Family
Badass Family - Adoptive version; anyone who spends a while around Bobby will absorb some of his personal badassness, even if they are already damn awesome themselves. First Love - Karen, the first woman he ever really loved, and whom he holds a torch for long after her death. Happily Married - With Karen. Until she finds out he doesn’t want to be a father... at which point they have a fight that never gets resolved, because she’s dead three days later. Honorary Uncle - To Sam and Dean as kids, and to most other hunters’ kids he spends any real time around, he was always “Uncle Bobby”. Ho Yay / Foe Yay - He and Crowley clash repeatedly, but all that snark-laden verbal fencing, long looks, moments of real vulnerability around each other... yeah, there’s definitely something going on there. Incompatible Orientation - One of Bobby’s main attempted defences against the attentions of a certain king of Hell. Like A Son To Me / Happily Adopted - Sam and Dean, who he played a large part in raising until their teens. Also counts for any of the other younger people he takes in and becomes a father figure to. Papa Wolf - Don’t mess with his kids. Just don’t. He will hurt you. Parental Substitute - To many of the young people he takes in or keeps an eye out for, particularly those who have had poor experiences with their childhood. He absolutely relishes being able to be a positive figure for a kid who needs it. Stalker With A Crush - This is how he tends to treat Crowley a lot of the time, especially when the demon’s being particularly flirtatious or overly attentive. Team Dad - To... well, pretty much everyone with the age or life experience to be considered a kid in his eyes. This includes the Winchesters, Jo Harvelle, several other hunters around their age, a freaking Vampire Slayer, and Castiel, an actual angel with the social savvy of a very sheltered gerbil.

15 Characters Peter Dinklage Could Play In Avengers Infinity War
Award-winning “Game of Thrones” actor, Peter Dinklage, is apparently going to be appearing in the upcoming “Avengers: Infinity War.” What is not yet known, however, is exactly what role he will be playing in the film.
RELATED: Infinity War: 15 Villains The Avengers Could Face Next
Dinklage is an acclaimed actor with a great deal of range, so he could play a number of roles. In addition, he has such an excellent voice that he could easily be doing a voice for the upcoming film, especially as the movie is set to have a much larger, more cosmic scope. As we have seen with Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise, and Josh Brolin in a number of films, Marvel is not shy about enlisting A-List actors to provide the voices of major cosmic characters. With that in mind, here are 15 comic book characters that we could see as possibilities for Dinklage in the film.
M.O.D.O.K.
M.O.D.O.K. (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing) is a classic Captain America villain created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee. What’s interesting about him is that since he is such a fantastical creature (literally a giant floating head), he did not really fit in well with the tone of the first couple of “Captain America” films, which used a more realistic, spy-oriented vibe. Now that the films are going to be more cosmic in scope, a character like M.O.D.O.K. would not stand out quite so much (after all, there will be a talking raccoon in the film and a talking tree).
Most importantly, though, one of the “Captain America: Winter Soldier” screenwriters, Christopher Markus (who is co-writing “Avengers: Infinity War”), specifically said about M.O.D.O.K…
“I love MODOK and I think you could make a terrifying movie with MODOK but nobody seems to be on my side at the moment… I will win you over to Peter Dinklage as MODOK. If he came around the corner and you saw him floating there you would be terrified. It would be amazing.”
So you would certainly, as we have done, have to place M.O.D.O.K. somewhere on the list of possibilities.
A.I.M.’S SCIENTIST SUPREME
A real possibility is Dinklage playing a role similar to that of Martin Freeman in “Captain America: Civil War.” Freeman, of course, played a character named after the comic book character Everett Ross, but really was playing a brand-new character who just had that name (a common enough occurrence in film adaptations of comics). With that in mind, Dinklage could take on a major role as just, say, the head of Advanced Ideas Mechanics (otherwise known as A.I.M., the group that created M.O.D.O.K.).
Andrew Forson is their Scientist Supreme, but really it would be more about the role than the character himself; while Forson is a good character, a film adaptation of him would pretty much just be “the guy in charge of A.I.M.” So, instead of Andrew Forson, the character could be a brand-new A.I.M. scientist, but it would serve the same purpose. In fact, Dinklage could do a double shift as Forson, who would lend his likeness or brain patterns to create M.O.D.O.K. It would not be surprising to see A.I.M. having access to an Infinity Stone, as well.
PIP THE TROLL
During his run on “Warlock,” writer/artist Jim Starlin did an amazing job creating a great supporting cast for Adam Warlock pretty much out of  thin air. One of the characters Starlin created as a Warlock cast member was Gamora, the deadliest woman in the universe. She, of course, is a major character in “Guardians of the Galaxy.” The other most important Adam Warlock supporting cast members was Pip the Troll: a gruff, hard-drinking, but ultimately endearing friend to Warlock.
As we have seen for years on “Game of Thrones” as Tyrion Lannister, Dinklage can certainly portray an outlandish, but ultimately endearing character who loves to drink. Also, of course, Dinklage was specifically cast as Tyrion because of his height, and that would be key to the portrayal of Pip, as well. This would depend on Adam Warlock appearing in the film, though, which is still unclear at the moment if it will happen. There are, after all, dozens of characters in the film already.
UATU THE WATCHER
One of the major points that Marvel is stressing in “Infinity War” is that it will be a major cosmic event. This is going to be a very big deal. Therefore, when you look at the Marvel Universe and ask yourself, “What happens in major cosmic events?” one of the things that always happens is that the Watcher shows up. Each universe is monitored by a being known as a Watcher, with the main Marvel Universe being monitored by the one they call Uatu.
Watchers show up to observe every major cosmic event, but they are not allowed to interfere with them. Uatu, of course, always ends up interfering. Honestly, if you take a scientific approach to things, simply letting people know that they are being observed is, in and of itself, interfering with things. That all notwithstanding, Uatu would be a must-have character for “Infinity War.” The only problem is that since Uatu was created in the pages of “Fantastic Four,” his movie rights almost certainly belong to Fox, not Marvel. Perhaps they will cut a deal, though, like the one that allowed Marvel access to Ego the Living Planet for “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2.”
MEPHISTO
Up until very recently, the thought of a demonic character like Mephisto playing a role in a major Marvel superhero film would have seemed extremely unlikely. However, with both the success of “Doctor Strange” and the news that the good doctor will be crossing over into the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe, beginning with “Thor: Ragnarok,” it opens things up dramatically.
In addition, when you think of a character who would connect to both Doctor Strange and Thanos, Mephisto stands out well, due to his significant role in “Infinity Gauntlet” as Thanos’ slimy consigliere. Thanos is going to have to have someone with him at his side, and Mephisto would be an intriguing choice (he’d be all CGI, of course). Taking it a step further, despite being a demonic character, Mephisto’s debut came in a cosmic comic book — Stan Lee and John Buscema’s “Silver Surfer” — so he clearly can work on the cosmic scale.
ETERNITY
Speaking of that intersection between “Doctor Strange” and the cosmic, the character of Eternity — i.e., the cosmic embodiment of time and space itself — made his debut in a famous Steve Ditko “Doctor Strange” storyline before then becoming a part of the larger Marvel cosmic landscape. Eternity typically takes on a command position in Marvel’s informal collection of cosmic beings. When something goes awry, it is typically Eternity who brings the band together, as it were.
Eternity is one of the most powerful beings in the universe, but by the same token, it tends to be headstrong and prone to rash decisions. This has led the universe into some ill-advised situations over the years, as Eternity seems to constantly end up getting captured by villainous forces. With Thanos in the films collecting the Infinity Stones, you can be sure that Eternity would be highly interested in seeing that things don’t get out of hand.
LIVING TRIBUNAL
When things invariably do get out of hand, the seemingly final say in the Marvel Universe is the cosmic being known as the Living Tribunal. The Tribunal serves as the judge of the universe, and also as the guardian of the Multiverse in general, which is why the Beyonders sought to destroy the cosmic being in the stories leading up to Marvel’s most recent “Secret Wars” event. The Living Tribunal is so powerful that when it decided that the Infinity Gems (AKA, the Infinity Stones in the movies) could not be combined and used as the Infinity Gauntlet, it happened just as the Tribunal commanded.
When Eternity draws all of the cosmic entities together, it typically is so that Eternity can present a case to the Living Tribunal, acting as a sort of prosecutor to the Tribunal’s judge and demanding he take action one way or another. Dinklage could really do a strong, solemn Tribunal, if that was asked of him.
LORD ORDER / MASTER CHAOS
The counter-balancing cosmic beings known as Lord Order and Master Chaos first showed up in the final work of Jim Starlin’s initial cosmic work at Marvel, “Final Threat,” which ended with the deaths of Adam Warlock, Pip the Troll, Gamora and Thanos (don’t worry, they all got better). They conspired to affect Spider-Man so much that he would head into outer space with the Thing to rescue the Avengers and stop Thanos from destroying the Milky Way.
They continually interfere to push their agendas, although ultimately they answer to Eternity’s commands. The dual head look that they rock would be a really fun exercise for an actor, particularly if they play both parts (what actor wouldn’t want to play opposite him or herself?). When they want more direct action, they have a being called the In-Betweener, who serves them. That character would also be a theoretical role for Dinklage, but it seems unlikely that he would play the servant of a cosmic being rather than the cosmic beings themselves.
KREE SUPREME INTELLIGENCE
An interesting continuation from the stories of “Guardians of the Galaxy,” and thus, a good way to connect their story to that of the Avengers, would be to introduced the Supreme Intelligence into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the first “Guardians” film, they fought Ronan the Accuser, who was a member of the Kree. The Supreme Intelligence is the cybernetic/organic computer head of the Kree people. By head, we don’t always mean that he is the literal ruler of the people, as he most often acts in secret, behind-the-scenes. He was a main motivator of both the Kree/Skrull War and the Kree/Shi’Ar War.
Famously, during “Operation: Galactic Storm,” he manipulated events so that the Shi’ar would create a devastating bomb that he then had stolen and detonated on his own planet, as he saw his race dying out and knew that the detonation of the bomb, while killing billions, would also mutate a certain number of survivors and make them stronger. That’s the kind of underhanded deception that Dinklage has played well for years on “Game of Thrones,” albeit there with just a touch more altruism.
EON
It appears likely that, just like how “Captain America: Civil War” was used to introduce Black Panther ahead of his own upcoming film, so too will “Avengers: Infinity War” serve as an introduction for Carol Danvers before she gets her own “Captain Marvel” movie. She likely will become Captain Marvel during the “Avengers” films, so there is a strong case to be made that Eon should be introduced in the films now, as well.
Eon is the offspring of Eternity and Infinity, and he has served as protector of the life energy of the universe for billions of years. It was Eon who took Captain Mar-Vell from his point of “just” being a cosmic hero to becoming the Protector of the Universe. He granted Captain Marvel “cosmic awareness” to help him in this task. Therefore, it seems very possible that Eon could be introduced, by playing that same role with the new Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, in the upcoming “Avengers” films. Eon later named Quasar Protector of the Universe following Captain Mar-Vell’s untimely death. With Quasar, Eon also supplied powerful “quantum bands” (Captain Mar-Vell had his own powerful weapons, so he didn’t need the bands). All of this makes for a rich potential of Marvel movie mythos.
MENTOR
With Thanos taking center stage in “Avengers: Infinity War,” it is only natural that we are introduced to his father. Mentor was the head of Titan, the moon of Saturn that served as the home base for a sub-group of Eternals who had colonized it many years ago. He had two sons, Eros, who later became the Avenger known as Starfox, and Thanos, who killed Mentor’s wife, Thanos’ mother, very early on.
One of the interesting aspects here is that Thanos is a mutant, so he was born much larger than Mentor and Starfox, and it would not be out of the question for Mentor to be played by Dinklage, as Mentor’s height is not important to his characterization. Dinklage would do a good job carrying the gravitas that would go well with a ruler resigned to the fact that his own son has become one of the vilest creatures in the universe.
GARDENER
Since Thanos will obviously be pursuing the Infinity Stones in “Avengers: Infinity War,” it would make some sense to introduce more of the Elders of the Universe. The Elders of the Universe are a group of inter-connected cosmic beings, each the sole survivor of a long-lost planet and each with their own special interest. In the classic mini-series, “Thanos Quest,” which led directly into “Infinity Gauntlet,” Thanos had to defeat a number of Elders to collect all of the Infinity Gems that were in their respective possessions.
Of the Elders present in that miniseries, the two most famous ones, Collector and Grandmaster, will both be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe by the time “Avengers: Infinity War” comes out, so it only makes sense for another Elder, the plant-loving Gardener, to make an appearance, as well. The Gardener was distinctive in his lack of interest in violence, which the other Elders never shrunk from. Dinklage could easily play the Gardener, and he has even shown that he can grow one hell of a beard.
EBONY MAW
As noted earlier, if Thanos is going to play a prominent role in “Avengers: Infinity War,” then he almost certainly is going to have people working under him. We’ve already seen in “Guardians of the Galaxy” that Thanos is keen on having lieutenants serve him. During his run on “Avengers,” writer Jonathan Hickman introduced an entire group of under-generals that served Thanos called the Black Order.
While Dinklage could theoretically play any one of the male members of the Black Order, including Corvus Glaive, Black Dwarf and Supergiant (some would require more CGI than others), the member of the group that he would do the best job on would definitely be Ebony Maw, who is the brilliant and manipulative member of the group (and, unsurprisingly, one of the few who has managed to avoid being killed so far). After years of playing a similar character on “Game of Thrones” (though again, with a much more altruistic bent to his methods and machinations), Dinklage could play Ebony Maw in his sleep (although that would be a strange artistic choice).
BEYONDER
A real wild card for the film would be if they added the Beyonder to the story, though his inclusion would feasibly escalate things beyond the Infinity Gauntlet, at least in terms of scope. The Beyonder was introduced in the original “Secret Wars” as a mysterious being who pulled a group of heroes and villains to a mysterious planet and made them fight each other for his amusement. However, the character is probably best known for the sequel miniseries, “Secret Wars II,” which saw the cosmic entity come to Earth and create a body for itself inspired by the bodies of Captain America and Michael Jackson (hilarious but true). Beyonder then tried to learn what it meant to be human.
After “Secret Wars II,” the Beyonder fell by the wayside as a character, although Jonathan Hickman re-visited the idea of the Beyonder (and the Beyonders) in the stories leading up to 2015’s “Secret Wars.” It is unlikely that Marvel would want to go into great depth with the Beyonder in “Avengers: Infinity War,” but perhaps introducing Dinklage as, say, an aspect of the Beyonder could set up future story ideas. Just imagine the original “Secret Wars” done as a film!
BOLIVAR TRASK
The biggest wild card, though, is if Dinklage, in “Avengers: Infinity War,” was playing a role well-known to fans of comic book movies: that of Bolivar Trask… from “X-Men: Days of Future Past!” In that film, he was a brilliant inventor who determined the existence of mutants and then began experimenting on them and using his studies to create the mutant-hunting Sentinels.
He seemed to honestly believe that he was helping the world by uniting all of mankind against mutants, but he also experimented on people, so he was obviously deranged. Thanks to the time-traveling efforts of Wolverine, his Senitnel program was discredited and junked, avoiding the dystopic future of “Days of Future Past.” He would be an old man in the timeline of “Avengers: Infinity War,” plus his presence would require the help of Fox, so it is almost certainly not going to happen. However, it would be super interesting to see if Fox might want to do it as a sort of symbolic olive branch between the two studios. Just think of all the money they could make…
Who do you think Dinklage should play in the film? Let us know in the comments!
