J. Abrams ushered within the Kelvin Timeline with 2009’s Star Trek, a film that launched Chris Pine as USS Enterprise Captain James T. Kirk.

After Star Trek Past underperformed in 2016, the franchise’s future was unclear for a time, however Paramount formally introduced Star Trek 4 in early 2022. Three years later, although, and the film is seemingly no nearer to really occurring.

Throughout a latest interview with Collider, Quinto addresses the standing of Star Trek 4, making clear that the undertaking, for now, stays caught in improvement. The actor is, nonetheless, desirous to return, and he says it could possibly be extra more likely to transfer ahead following the Skydance and Paramount merger. Take a look at his remark beneath:

“I might completely like to do one other Star Trek film. I don’t perceive why we haven’t completed one but, however hopefully now that the Skydance and Paramount merger is transferring ahead – Skydance was the financier of all of the Star Trek films that we’ve completed up to now and have been nice companions in these movies – and I might like to revisit it. I believe all of us would.

It’s been 10 years since we made the final film, and 9 years because it got here out, and I do suppose that it could be a very great solution to shut that chapter of the story and the characters that we’ve all come to like and are available to get pleasure from inhabiting as a lot as we’ve got. I believe it could be actually great.”

If a fourth movie does occur, Quinto suggests it will likely be the ultimate outing for the Kelvin Timeline Enterprise crew. Though the Spock actor does not have any concrete bulletins concerning the film, he does reveal that he lately bought in contact with Abrams about getting the band again collectively:

“I really simply emailed J.J. this week to say, ‘Hey, this is able to be actually thrilling.’ I believe followers can be actually open to it and actually welcome a ultimate film. We’ve been speaking about it for lengthy sufficient that it looks as if time to maneuver it ahead. So, I’m beating that drum as a lot as I can.

I believe it could be actually nice to do a fourth film, and let’s make it occur. There are such a lot of prospects within the tales we may inform. I believe there’s one thing actually great about coming again to characters that all of us have a historical past with, and all of us have an actual deep connection to, and a fond relationship with. I hope that we are able to, and I hope that we do.”

What This Means For Star Trek 4

Varied writers and administrators have been connected to Star Trek 4 over the previous few years, together with Matt Shakman, who departed the undertaking to direct this summer time’s The Implausible 4: First Steps. A report from spring 2024 claimed that Steve Yockey was penning the script for the fourth installment, however, 18 months later, it isn’t clear if that’s nonetheless the case.

Quinto’s replace suggests Abrams and the artistic group could also be no nearer to really cracking the script, elevating questions on whether or not the movie will find yourself occurring in any respect. Like Quinto says, it has been virtually 10 years since Past, and there in all probability is a time restrict to how lengthy a fourth movie has earlier than Paramount opts to simply do a full reboot.

That being mentioned, Quinto is not alone in his optimism and enthusiasm, and that might assist get the film off the bottom. Pine is maybe probably the most notable Star Trek forged member to precise curiosity in returning, and he is joined by Scotty actor Simon Pegg, Uhura actor Zoe Saldaña, and McCoy actor Karl City.

With so many core Enterprise crew members open to reprising their roles in a fourth and ultimate Star Trek film, it may simply be a matter of time earlier than the movie really occurs.

Our Take On Zachary Quinto’s Star Trek 4 Replace

Though Past might have underperformed, the three Kelvin Timeline Star Trek films are lots of enjoyable, and the forged is without doubt one of the films’ main strengths. It might be nice to see Quinto, Pine, Saldaña, and Pegg, amongst others, return for yet one more journey.

As for the story, Pine and Pegg have expressed curiosity within the subsequent film going smaller in scope with a extra stripped again story, and this could possibly be a good way to strategy issues. It is unclear if the movie will really find yourself occurring, however Quinto’s enthusiasm could possibly be an indication that extra Star Trek 4 information is coming.
