I'm going to bump this since there's increasing evidence he'll be portraying Trask -

I understand why he'd want to use Trask, but I'd be disappointed in Singer didn't have the imagination to put a different villain in his place. It's not like this would be the first time the X-Men franchise made a serious departure from the comics, even in the films Singer's worked on. Brian Cox's William Stryker and Kevin Bacon's Sebastian Shaw are pretty different from the ones in the comics.

That being said, Dinklage would make a great Graydon Creed. His height being a side-effect of his mutation, which is a much better reason for the character to be resentful of mutants and have an inferiority complex when it comes to mutants, especially compared to the relatively well-built Graydon Creed in the comics.

And since Singer used anti-mutant sentiment as a metaphor for the struggle for LGBT rights in the past, Graydon Creed in that sense would be the perfect analogue for the homophobe who's really a closeted homosexual (a la so many anti-gay advocates).
