At the moment, Avengers: Infinity War is the biggest movie on the planet, and it may become the biggest in history. We’re known for a while that Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) would appear — you can see his name buried at the bottom of the poster below — but his exact role remained a mystery right up until the film’s release.
When Dinklage did finally appear, it left many fans chuckling; he played Eitri the Dwarf King, the man who created Thor’s magic hammer Mjolnir. He’s also enormous, towering over even the 6’3” Chris Hemsworth. Fans didn’t fail to notice the irony:
The absolute best part about “The Avengers: Infinity War” was Peter Dinklage playing a giant 😂😂😂 I literally couldn’t stop laughing

I wonder how you film the Dinklage scene. He'e CGI to be 15 feet tall. So is he even in the room when filming? Or is he looking at the floor so his character is looking at the regular sized people? I dont know how film work
Green screen. That’s all we’ve got.
Nobody on my timeline has said it yet, but Peter Dinklage in Infinity War? A+. Loved him, loved everything about his character. Okay, no more until it's out. Promise.

Perhaps our favorite.
Having just seen Avengers Infinity War, I have to say; congrats to Peter Dinklage in his biggest role yet!

We see what they did there.
Not a spoiler, but Peter Dinklage in Avengers Infinity War felt like he’d wandered in from an SNL skit.

From an SNL skit in a good way or a bad way?
We ask again.
There was a girl sitting behind me while I was watching Infinity War and she was calling Peter Dinklage, "Littlefinger" 🤦🤦🤦

(Editor’s note: When I went to see the movie, select pockets of the theater burst into giggles when Dinklage appear. People definitely recognized him, although I like to think they all knew he played Tyrion.)
We didn’t even notice that.
Why does Infinity War Peter Dinklage, the largest Peter Dinklage, simply not eat the other Peters Dinklage?

Name the reference.
INFINITY WAR: Our FX team has created Thanos, the most realistic CG creation of all time.

ALSO INFINITY WAR: Here's Peter Dinklage looking like the baby in Honey, I Blew Up the Kid.
If the Hulk couldn’t hurt Thanos, we’re guessing Drogon couldn’t either. But we like the thought.
