Did you know X-Men: Days of Future Past cast Peter Dinklage specifically because of his height? A lot of fans assume his fame allowed him to overcome his height to play Bolivar Trask, who wasn’t a dwarf in the comics. Dinklage explains it was just the opposite. His dwarfism allows him to relate to mutants, but without the superpowers. Dinklage explains this makes the character self-loathing and resentful, paving the way for his villainy.
