While we're anxiously waiting to see what will the new STAR TREK TV series, starting in January at CBS, be about and who will stand at the helm of Enterprise (Nathan Fillion being fans' favourite rumoured name), we shall first watch the third movie in the rebooted saga (or the thirteenth at all) STAR TREK BEYOND which will boldly sail into the cinemas around the world from July 22nd this summer! Today you can enjoy the character posters showing all the stars portraying our beloved sf heroes!
THE CREW IS BACK In the $150 million movie, the crew of the USS Enterprise, halfway
into their five year mission, which takes them into uncharted territory,
are attacked by a seemingly unstoppable wave of unknown aliens forcing
them to abandon ship. Stranded on an unknown planet and with no apparent
means of rescue nor communication, the crew find themselves in conflict
with a new ruthless enemy, while
Kirk must work out a plan to reunite his crew and get back to Earth.
CHRIS PINE AND KARL URBAN LEADING THE CAST AGAIN
With FAST AND FURIOUS franchise director Justin Lin behind the helm of STAR TREK BEYOND instead of J.J. Abrams who had to work on STAR WARS saga, the cast is again lead by the ensemble that has built up an amazing chemistry among themselves in the first two movies of the rebooted series. Chris Pine returns again as the young Captain Kirk fresh from the Star Fleet Academy and now given the command of Enterprise which he is taking into the legendary exploring mission with most famous Vulcan in the universe Spock, played by ZacharyQuinto, as his trusted commander. It is interesting that while both Pine and Quinto have contracts signed for the fourth movie as well, the rest of the crew did not have presigned contracts even for this one, which Karl Urban, who is again playing everybody's beloved grumpy Doctor Bones or Lieutenant Commander McCoy, has recently confirmed by saying he did not even know he is returning for the third part, which is shocking given that his character is fans' favourite. Zoe Saldana is gain Lieutenant Uhura, John Cho portrays Lieutenant Sulu and Anton Yelchin is Lieutenant Chekov! Idris Elba is the main villain in the movie called Krall, while Sofia Boutella is Jaylah, the alien warrior you see in the trailer with the white skin. Oscar winner Shohreh Aghdashloo was cast as the High Command of the Federation for reshoots on the film.
Well, this is shaping up to be the best superhero movie cast ever, seriously: it has been revealed that Cate Blanchett will officially join Chris Hemsworth's THOR: RAGNAROK as the powerful nemesis Hella, Asgardian goddess of death, while our beloved Karl Urban will be Skurge (Thor's Asgardian enemy wielding a double bladed axe, one of the Masters of Evil)! Jeff Goldblum will be the eccentric Grandmaster (a master of all games of skill and chance, a member of the Elders of the Universe), Tessa Thompson will play mighty warrior Valkyrie, while Mark Ruffalo will again be the Hulk! Tom Hiddleston will reprise his role of Loki, IdrisElba of Asgardian sentry Heimdall, while Anthony Hopkins is again the ruler of Asgard, Odin! You can also check out the first concept art photo from the film out November next year.
