At the start of this afternoon’s Fox panel at San Diego Comic-Con, The Wolverine director James Mangold started things off with a bit of a dig at that other solo Wolverine movie — “It ended up with a lot of other mutants in it as well,” he joked.
Well, the funny thing is, this panel also ended up with a lot of other mutants! As in, practically the entire cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore, Anna Paquin, James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Peter Dinklage, Evan Peters, and Omar Sy. Director Bryan Singer and producers Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg, and Hutch Parker were also in attendance.

20th Century Fox has been coy about what sort of presence the X-Men franchise will have at this week’s San Diego Comic-Con. The Hollywood Reporter recently confirmed that The Wolverine will be there at Saturday’s Fox presentation, and now a new report claims that, as suspected, X-Men: Days of Future Past will be the panel’s “secret” film.
According to Vulture, “the Bryan Singer–helmed film will be sending over a dozen cast members to San Diego to tease the ambitious sequel.” We already know Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Anna Paquin, Shawn Ashmore, and Peter Dinklage will already be at Comic-Con for, respectively, The Wolverine, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, True Blood, The Following, and Game of Thrones. So that leaves the likes of James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Halle Berry, Ellen Page, Evan Peters, Nicholas Hoult, Omar Sy, Daniel Cudmore, and Lucas Till, who Bryan Singer revealed via Twitter is reprising his First Class role of Havok (see the pic Singer tweeted below).

Peter Dinklage of “Game of Thrones” joined Drunk Uncle (Bobby Moynihan) on “Saturday Night Live” last night as his drinking buddy Peter Drunklage, and they slurred their way through complaints about tax season.
It’s just about perfect, which leads us to ask: Why hasn’t Peter Dinklage hosted “SNL” yet?

Oh, April Fools Day, you get us every year. While it’s true that the 24-hour news cycle stops for no man (or holiday), we can’t help but be suspicious of every story that breaks on April 1, especially when many networks and news sites get into the spirit of the occasion with phony press releases and misleading tweets to really sell the pranks.
One of the most cruel April Fool’s jokes we’ve come across today involved Peter Dinklage leaving “Game of Thrones”, which is such a traumatic thought that we can’t even laugh about it.
Hulu’s adorable nod to the day involved promoting some of our favorite fictional shows-within-shows, including “Community’s” “Inspector Spacetime,” “How I Met Your Mother’s” cheesy “Space Teens with Robin Sparkles” and “Parks and Recreation’s” news show, “Ya Herd? With Perd!” among others. “30 Rock’s” “Rural Juror” also got a shout-out.

“We are called to set by a raven…” Yes. Yes, you are, Peter Dinklage. Also, we love you.
Watch the “Game Of Thrones” star chat with Jon Stewart above.
Earlier today we spoke with X-Men: Days of Future Past director Bryan Singer about his upcoming fantasy film Jack the Giant Slayer (stay tuned for more from that conversation). During our chat we also touched on his intentions for his reentry into the X-Men universe, which is set to go into production shortly.
One thing that’s had fans buzzing is the exact nature of Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage’s character in the film. When he was initially cast many believed he may be playing Wolverine’s Canadian cohort, fellow superhero and drinking pal, Puck. When we mentioned that it now seemed unlikely that Dinklage would indeed be playing the Alpha Flight hero Singer replied simply, “yeah.”

The casting announcements continue to pile up for 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. This latest X-Men sequel will bring back many series veterans to reprise their roles as it unites both the present-day timeline of the original trilogy and the flashback period of X-Men: First Class. But the newest casting is interesting not because it involves a familiar face like Hugh Jackman or Patrick Stewart, but instead a newcomer to the X-Men franchise: Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage is joining the ever-growing cast of Days of Future Past. Because of his short stature, the obvious assumption was that Dinklage would be playing Canadian superhero and Wolverine’s drinking buddy Puck…
But according to a new rumor, Dinklage is actually playing the mystery villain of the movie, and there may be a heavy reliance on motion capture and CG for his character. Who could this villain be? Which X-Men foe is tied to the rise of the Sentinels and can threaten our heroes at two key points in their history? As always, we have a few ideas, so we’ve picked 10 X-Men villains that might fit the bill. Read through our picks and then let us know who you think Dinklage could be playing!

Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage has joined the ever-growing ensemble cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Dinklage’s casting was announced by director Bryan Singer today via Twitter.
While Singer didn’t say what role Dinklage would play, it is a pretty safe bet he’s been cast as Puck, aka Eugene Judd, a member of Canada‘s superhero team Alpha Flight.
Puck was a dwarf with a cauliflower ear and an old friend of Wolverine’s from their days in Canadian intelligence. He is a hand-to-hand combatant and acrobat best known for his cartwheeling. Besides his work as a secret agent, Puck’s also been a bouncer and a soldier of fortune.
