As perhaps the most exciting piece of news to come out of the casting for the next X-film, Golden Globe winner, Peter Dinklage has been confirmed by director Bryan Singer.

Now as to who Tyrion Lannister is to be cast as remains untold. One can only speculate that he would be none other then Puck from Canada's super team, Alpha Flight. The how and if so Alpha Flight would play into the next film is still to be known.

What we do know about the next movie is only that from the original story line of 'Days of Future Past' by Chris Claremont and John Byrne:

In an alternate future universe, Sentinels rule the United States, and mutants live in internment camps. The present-day X-Men are forewarned of the possible future by a future version of their teammate Kitty Pryde, whose mind traveled back in time and possessed her younger self to warn the X-Men. She succeeds in her mission and returns to the future, but despite her success, the future timeline still exists as an alternative timeline rather than as the actual future. ("Days of Future Past" Earth has been designated as Earth-811).
