Peter Dinklage on being Scourge in ‘Transformers’: ‘He’s the boss!’

Los Angeles, June 8 : Peter Dinklage, best known for his roles of Lord Tyrion Lannister in Game Of Thrones and Bolivar Trask in X-Men: Days of Future Past, spoke about his upcoming role in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts as its antagonist Scourge, whom he will be voicing.

In an interview with Screen Rant, he described Scourge.

Dinklage said: "Hes the boss, but he also has a boss in Unicron.He has to answer to that guy who eats planets, so hes a bit of a threat.

And I think its just because hes treated so poorly by that guy, he just transfers that down to his minions."Theyre like locusts, right? They just want to consume, destroy, and they dont have any moral compass, so why not? But its a lot of fun.Villains are, in my experience, the most fun you can have at the movies because they dont care." When asked about the direction of the movie, Dinklage said: "Freshness; fun.I love that this takes place in the 90s.I moved from Vermont to New York City in 91.I lived in Williamsburg throughout the 90s up until about 2002, which seemed like the set of a Transformers movie, the desolate streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn in the 90s.""I knew the world very well; that time period and the music.

It was that time of real, just sort of, you felt the world changing, but it hadnt fully gone there yet." Shifting its era from the 1980s in Bumblebee, Rise of the Beasts takes place in the 1990s and will draw from the Beast Wars storyline of the old Transformers animated franchise.In the movie, Optimus Prime and his Autobot faction teams up with another pair of Transformers hiding on Earth for a long time, the Maximals.

A pair of beast like machines, the Maximals are commanded by Optimus Primal, to deal with the horrible threat facing them, the two factions team up to fight the Terracons under the command of Scourge who serve the planet consuming machine god called Unicron.A sequel to Bumblebee, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts hits theaters on June 9.anv-dc/kvd #Peter #Dinklage #Scourge #Transmers #boss #New York #New York #Los Angeles .
