    I was hoping that he would eventually be cast as Puck in one of these movies. A villain will do.

    Where does he confirm he’s the villain? He just confirm’s he’s in it – not what part he’s playing!

    That tweet doesn’t say anything about him being the villain. Though that would be the logical casting.

    Variety confirmed Dinklage as the villain, not Singer.
