Trask Is Bad Guy In "X-Men: Days of Future Past"?

The latest photo that director Bryan Singer posted via Twitter from the set of the upcoming sequel "X-Men: Days of Future Past" hints that Bolivar Trask will play a key role. Someone wearing a Trask Industries jumpsuit is the clearest signal yet that the man will be part of the movie. He in fact, created the Sentinels--mutant-hunting robots. Speculation is that Peter Dinklage  plays Trask. But when the character appeared in "X-Men: The Last Stand," he was played by Bill Duke. So far we haven't heard that Duke is returning--it's all rumor for now......Some also say the Game of Thrones actor Dinklage could be  instead be playing bad guy Apocalypse.
