Dinklage saw the original Toxic Avenger film as a young man, and he joked that he had never really dreamed of taking the role for himself like some other legacy superhero roles, but he was still happy to be cast. He said, “Of course, it makes perfect sense, and I was born and raised in New Jersey. I mean, look at the environment now, it’s sadly still a topical thing.”
“I think the best way to approach certain serious topics is through satire and comedy, because it’s through the back door, and he nails it every time,” Dinklage concluded, gesturing at Blair.
Dinklage has already had some other prominent roles in superhero movies and geek culture in general, including the smith Eitri in Avengers: Infinity War and Dr. Bolivar Trask in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Since he’s spent so much time on the Marvel side of the fence, ComicBook asked if there is a DC Comics role he is interested in taking. He confirmed that he is a fan, but didn’t seem to have anything in mind for himself.
