Joe Russo continued with mention of Terry Notary as Cull Obsidian, who is known for the Apes movies, and it’s also been said he is playing Teen Groot.

“Terry Notary
 He did voice the character, but his movement
 He’s one of the most gifted movement specialists in the world right now,” Russo said. “He played a character we called Cull Obsidian. In the [comic] books, he was known as Black Dwarf. It’s an all-star cast of baddies.” 

The Russo’s also recently revealed that Michael James Shaw (Limitless TV series, Papa Midnite in the Constantine series) is playing Corvus Glaive.

“It’s a gentleman named Michael Shaw
 He’s an actor, and we cast a wide net for these characters,” Joe Russo told CinemaBlend.

“In the same way we were approaching Thanos with Josh Brolin to bring sort of a very grounded, realistic performance, we wanted to do that with everyone in the Black Order. So we cast very, very good actors for those,” Anthony Russo added.
