There arent many dwarf roles, however the ones that exist 100% go to Dinklage. Earned, sure, but my point stands that there are surely more dwarf actors in the world who'd appreciate a bone now and again.

And ill point out the Hobbit movies cast normal size people and shrunk them down to dwarf size. Thats also taking roles away from them.
LOL...I was going to mention that about the hobbit movies... surprised there were no protests over it all...
I am trying to avoid any Lollypop Guild jokes here...

I wonder how many laws, protocols and direct orders Captain America will break for his own selfish reasons in this movie? Not to mention lying, betraying and turning on his friends in the Avengers. :p

'Infinity War' Will Focus on Marvel's A-Listers (Sorry, Bucky)
Avengers: Infinity War[/a], though stacked with talent, will focus only the big “important” characters. So, apologies if you’re a Winter Soldier fan.

Screen Rant[/a] at San Diego Comic-Con last weekend, co-director Joe Russo described Infinity War as “a culmination film ten years in the making” and that it will put predominant focus on only the biggest of Marvel heroes — but everyone else will have their moments, too.

“You know, the story really centers who you would expect it to center around,” Russo explained at Comic-Con. “This is a culmination film ten years in the making and we are pulling the main story threads from all of the different franchises into one unifying narrative. So any of the important characters are going to be in this film and they are going to have something important to do in the movie.”

In comics, none of the Guardians are A-Listers.

I think in the MCU anybody that gets their own franchise is probably considered an A-Lister. No? I mean Guardians centers on Star-Lord.

Like Ant-Man? There is a sequel coming to that, so that makes it a franchise, but we can both agree Ant-Man is definitely not an A-Lister.

I think in the MCU he is. I mean the comment to begin with was pretty nebulous. In every ensemble hero movie there are those that get more lines than others. Is that what he means? Not sure. I wouldn't consider Ant-Man for example to be anywhere close to some of the side characters in the X-Men franchise for example.

Although from the comics I wouldn't say this, but I think the MU will have Thor, hulk, iron man, and cap as A listers.

And as DC watched the official trailer, they collectively broke down in tears. When even raccoons and talking trees whip bat and super men at the box office, they must see this one as the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Looks good, but I hope Thanos looks a lot better in the final cut. He gave me CGI Steppenwolf flashbacks in that trailer.

I thought he looked much, much better than Steppenwolf. Actually looked like a real person under the makeup.

He looked better than Steppenwolf, but I thought the same thing when I saw it too. They need to use the cgi guys from the planet of the apes movies...

I would think the theatrical presentation will be quite a bit better than a compressed for streaming YouTube video.

okay... just watched it on my computer. that looks sick... like the biggest damn blockbuster of all time sick.

I mean... it's a build-up of 22 freaking movies (most of them very good, with a some all-time classics) with pretty much ALL the biggest movie stars in the world.

I might be speaking in hyperbole here but I really think that this whole build up leading to this movie is going to be taught in film school for the foreseeable future.
