Dinklage would absolutely kill it as Puck. I'd love to see what his accent would sound like, eh?

[Le Messor]

Although we've seen members of Alpha Flight mentioned in text on screens in X2 and the 'Heather & Travis Hudson' characters in X-Men Origins:Wolverine if true this would mark the first Alphan to appear on the big screen.

Not to mention the first live-action version of any of them.

Also, who else could he play but Puck?
Or what else? A Brood? (ie: anything that requires a small person and a lot of make-up; Virus, perhaps?)

It could just be motion capture and sound ala Gollum, or it could be a new character or just an artistic license of a current one.
Toad maybe? Bantham?

Whoa, I could definetly see him being Puck. With all the action figures and press he is getting it just seems like they are pushing him

[Flightpath07]

Or Broo.

[Phil]

Sugar-Man maybe?

[Flightpath07]

Rocket Raccoon?

[Le Messor]

Toad maybe?

They've already done him (kinda), so I imagine not. But it could be any of the others, too...

OTOH, Puck still looks pretty likely.

Bleeding Cool thinks it's someone else:

Odd, since Bolivar isn't a dwarf.

But that doesn't mean it isn't him.

[-K-M-]

Damn, yeah doubt he is Puck now

There's a LOT of holes in Bleeding Cool's guess. That said, the likelihood of Puck starring is also slight. He could be portraying just about anyone.

[Le Messor]

There just aren't that many dwarves in the MU, let alone ones who're that connected to the X-Men.
Which leaves three possibilities:
They've changed a character randomly. Happens all the time in page-to-screen.
He's playing a special effect (heavy make-up requiring a small person, or he's doing a mo-cap). Happens all the time in movies.
Or a dwarf. Puck.

I'm hoping for the last.

Yeah, that's the thing.

This film doesn't have to stay true to the comics in the slightest, and is only in the continuity of First Class, not the other 4 X-Films so he can quite easilly be Trask.
