Not only are Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, The Hulk, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Black Panther, Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, and the Guardians of the Galaxy collaborating, but various new characters are joining the two-part film.
According to Heat Vision (via The Hollywood Reporter), Peter Dinklage - who played Tyrion Lannister in the TV series Game of Thrones - will reportedly be joining the film’s huge cast.
The report highlights how - although details regarding which character Dinklage would play are being kept under wraps - apparently Dinklage’s role will be major throughout both Infinity War and the currently-untitled fourth Avengers.
Dinklage, who has been busy filming season seven of Game of Thrones, previously starred in a Marvel Comics-based film, Fox’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, released in 2014.
Infinity War will see the titular Avengers take on Josh Brolin’s Thanos, the purple villain seen during the post-credit sequence of both Avengers films and in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Meanwhile, in other superhero team-up news, Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange has been confirmed for Thor: Ragnarok later this year.
Avengers: Infinity War reaches cinemas 4 May 2018.
