Star Trek: William Shatner finds Spock's appearance superfluous
Star Trek
The Star Trek franchise has accompanied humanity for over 50 years. The series was rebooted in 2009, but the original series has not been forgotten. Spock, played by Leanoard Nimoy, appeared in both Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness as "Spock Prime". This decision has now been criticized by the original actor of Captain Kirk, William Shatner, in an interview with the Daily Express:"Leonard Nimoy was in some of these films, but it was completely unnecessary. They just wanted Spock in theirs Have a film and I'm not a fan of it. "
Shatner himself would not be averse to playing a part in one of the new films, but only if there is a real reason for it:
"If they can find a way, a character, I would be thrilled to bring those I've played into a movie and it helps the story move forward. "
Even without William Shatner, the future of Star Trek looks pretty muddled right now. A new film to be released on June 9, 2023 is currently in the works, with J.J. Abrams as a producer. Much information about the film is not yet known, but with Abrams as producer, the chances are good that the new film will be a sequel to the "Kelvin Timeline".

Noah Hawley is also currently working on a separate Star Trek film. In an interview with Variety he already shared some little information about his project:
"Neither Kirk nor Picard will appear. Our film is a fresh start, so we can do what we did with Fargo. For the first three hours you'll be like, 'Oh, it really has nothing to do with the movie'. "
In addition, there were talks about a connection between Star Trek and Quentin Tarantino. There should already be a script, but further information is not yet known. In an interview with ComicBook.com, Chris Pine said that "Quentin's version would be incredibly interesting and entertaining".
Furthermore, Star Trek fans can look forward to Season 4 of Star Trek Discovery, the new spin-off Strange New Worlds, and the second season of Picard.
