Avengers: Infinity War directors reveal Corvus Glaive actor

April 23, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Over the past couple of weeks we’ve learned that Carrie Coon, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor and Terry Notary are playing the Black Order members Promixa Midnight, Ebony Maw and Cull Obsidian in Avengers: Infinity War, leaving the identity of just one member, Corvus Glaive, a mystery.

Given that his role is yet to be revealed, there’s been much speculation that Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage would be portraying the character, but as we told you a couple of weeks ago, that isn’t the case.

Unfortunately we were sworn to secrecy as to the actor’s identity at the time (we did tease the DC TV connection though), but now Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo have revealed to Cinema Blend that Corvus Glaive is actually being portrayed by Michael James Shaw, an actor you may recognise as Papa Midnite in NBC’s short-lived Constantine series.

So, now that we know who we have playing the Children of Thanos, what are your predictions for Peter Dinklage’s role? Let us know in the comments below…

An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.

Avengers: Infinity War opens on April 27th 2018 and will feature an all-star cast including Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Paul Bettany (Vision), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Josh Brolin (Thanos), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Benedict Wong (Wong), Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Dave Bautista (Drax), Bradley Cooper (Rocket), Sean Gunn (Rocket, Kraglin), Vin Diesel (Groot), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Pom Klementieff (Mantis), Tessa Thompson (Valkyrie), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill), Benicio Del Toro (The Collector), Danai Gurira (Okoye), Letitia Wright (Shuri), Winston Duke (M’Baku), Terry Notary (Cull Obsidian), Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (Ebony Maw), Carrie Coon (Proxima Midnight), Michael James Shaw (Corvus Glaive) and Peter Dinklage in an as-yet-unrevealed role.
