We haven't heard much from
Game Of Thrones' Peter Dinklage when it comes to his role as Boliver Trask in Bryan Singer's
X-Men: Days Of Future Past, but now the actor has spoken a little about how he's approaching the character to EW. Although Trask was described initially as the movie's "main villain", and is a notoriously ruthless bigot in the comics, Dinklage reveals that he'll be playing him with a few more layers than that.
“I didn’t want to play the villain,” Dinklage told EW.
“He’s a man of science. He’s a man of invention. He actually sees what he’s doing as a good thing — [his ambition is] definitely blind and he’s quite arrogant. He’s strove all his life for a certain respect and attention.” So it seems we might be getting yet another, at least slightly, sympathetic villain for this one. Dinklage also says theta he'll have some tough political competition in the movie.
“He’s up against Richard Nixon. He’s got some hurdles.” More at the link below.
