Bryan Singer announced via his Twitter account that he's cast Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage in X-Men: Days of Future Past. There's no official word on who he will be playing in the movie, but for awhile fans have said he would be the perfect actor to play Puck, a dwarf member of Canada's mutant team, Alpha Flight.
Dinklage will join James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, IanMcKellen, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, and Shawn Ashmore who were already confirmed.
X-Men: Days of Future Past will start shooting in April for a July 18th, 2014, release.
Simon Kinberg wrote the script, and it is based on Chris Claremont and John Byrne's comic book storyline, Days of Future Past, that ran in "Uncanny X-Men" #141 and 142 back in 1981.
The story is set in an alternate future where surviving mutants have been thrown in concentration camps, Sentinels are patrolling America, and most of the X-Men have been hunted down and killed. The present day X-Men are forced to stop a key event from unfolding in order to keep that future from occurring.

But Puck wasn't in the original story...
So weren't alot of the x-men but this is the movie so there is always some wriggle room. Are you telling me I don't want to see Puck?
I was curious who he would play as well, especially given his household name status. Puck seems as likely as any other character.
It'll be interesting to see the original film and reboot cast unite. I'm glad to see some previous characters returning, especially since the X-Men film series hasn't had a great reputation for "developing" characters so much as introducing and discarding them with each film.
I don't need character development. I know all about these characters. I want action and adventure and superpowers.
Peter Dinklage is one cute little dude.
