Peter Dinklage is in 'Infinity War' to make your little nerd heart explode

All our nerdy worlds are colliding: Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage will definitely be in Avengers: Infinity War, though his role remains a mystery.

Gizmodo pointed out that Dinklage's casting has been rumored for some time and that he was previously in talks but never confirmed. As of Friday, his name is on that very crowded poster, and we've got a little over a month to wonder which character he's playing.

Dinklage is squeezed into the names at the bottom, between Idris Elba and Benedict Cumberbatch, and beneath a Chris, because they're everywhere in this movie.

Since we know most of our key players, even if there are dozens, it's most likely that Dinklage is a new character coming to Earth with Thanos (Josh Brolin). A silly cameo would be fun, but it's practically an unspoken rule in Marvel movies that those only go to Stan Lee.

One thing is for sure: If Disney doesn't want him to talk about it, Dinklage won't breathe a word about his role. He has plenty of practice keeping secrets about the fight for Westeros – why should an epic battle for Earth's future be any different?

Avengers: Infinity War premieres April 27.
