Peter Dinklage is in talks to join the cast of Avengers: Infinity War, according to industry reports.
The Game of Thrones star, who was also in the recent Marvel adaptation X-Men: Days of Future Past, is said to be wanted for a "key role" in the 2018 film.
Marvel is not commenting on the report, which originated at Variety and claims Dinklage would go on to star in the 2019 sequel to Infinity War if he takes the role.
The Game of Thrones shooting schedule will reportedly allow the actor, who plays Tyrion Lannister, to work on the production of the two Avengers films this year.
Dinklage would be joining a monumental and ever-growing cast that already includes Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Josh Brolin, Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, Elizabeth Olsen, Samuel L Jackson, Mark Ruffalo, Paul Bettany, Dave Bautista, Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, Brie Larson, Vin Diesel, Chadwick Boseman and Tom Holland.
