‘Game of Thrones’ star Peter Dinklage talks Bolivar Trask, ‘X-Men Days of Future Past’
Peter Dinklage will soon be appearing as Bolivar Trask in X-Men: Days Of Future Past, and spoke about what fans can expect from his character in an October 1 interview with Entertainment Weekly.
Despite being the creator of the mutant-menacing robots known as Sentinels, Dinklage stresses that he “didn’t want to play the villain”, arguing that Trask’s overall intentions are more complicated.
“He’s a man of science,” explains Dinklage. “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,” continues the Game of Thrones star. “He’s strived all his life for a certain respect and attention.”
“He’s up against Richard Nixon,” says Dinklage. “He’s got some hurdles.”
Directed by Bryan Singer and co-starring Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult from the First Class film and Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart and Halle Berry from the original trilogy.
X-Men: Days Of Future Past will open in theaters on May 23, 2014
