Peter Dinklage confirmed for Infinity War, Davos hangs out with Luke Skywalker, and more

As per usual, Game of Thrones cast members past and present are all kinds of busy. Let’s catch up with some of them.

First up, Indira Varma (Ellaria Sand) and Conleth Hill (Varys) have joined director Gavin Hood’s spy film, Official Secrets. The film stars Keira Knightley as Katharine Gun, the real-life former British Intelligence Agent who leaked information about the USA’s illegal activities ahead of the invasion of Iraq in 2003. And they’re not the only ones getting new gigs. Deadline reports that Pedro Pascal (Oberyn Martell) has joined the likes of Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam and Ben Affleck in the cast of Triple Frontier, a Netflix film that follows five friends as they try to take down a South American drug lord.

Meanwhile, Sophie Turner’s new movie, Josie, is in out in select theaters now. Turner plays the titular character, a mysterious woman who blows into a small town and stirs up trouble. Entertainment Weekly has a clip:

Looks fun. A shame no one likes it.

Remember when it was rumored that Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) was in talks to appear in Avengers: Infinity War? Well, thanks to the film’s official poster, we now know the rumors were true.

What, you didn’t see it? As i09 points out, Dinklage’s name is buried at the very bottom of the poster, in between Idris Elba and Benicio del Toro. However, we still don’t know who he’ll play. Dinklage has appeared in an adaptation of a Marvel property before — he played Dr. Bolivar Trask in X-Men: Days of Future Past. But that was made by Fox, whereas the MCU movies are made by Disney. Disney has now acquired 21st Century Fox, so it’s possible Dinklage could reprise that role, but not very likely.

Also, Days of Future Past took place in the ’70s…and Infinity War doesn’t. Perhaps Dinklage will play dwarf king Eitri, who crafted Thor’s hammer.

To hear writer Christopher Markus talk about the movie to ComicBook.com, Infinity War will have more in common with Game of Thrones than just sharing a cast member. Like HBO’s mega-hit, the latest Marvel crossover will yoke together several different storylines, although Markus probably could have put it a shade more tastefully:

"And even now, not unlike something like Game of Thrones, where you have this vast canvas with characters you’ve been watching; this guy over here molesting this girl over here in the East for years and only now does it have that feeling of massive plates shifting and finally bringing these characters near each other."

Finally, please enjoy this video of Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth) serving as the Grand Marshall for the 2018 St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin:

Cunningham was co-hosting the festivities with Star Wars icon Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker):

And thus Cunningham’s title as the coolest man in the Seven Kingdoms was cemented.
