The first set pics from the 2016 Justin Lin helmed Star Trek sequel, Star Trek - Beyond, have leaked online with a first look at Sofia Boutella's unknown alien character and a first look at the new Starfleet uniforms. Boutella looks awesome, the new uniform is smart looking although Simon Pegg is spotted wearing the classic red shirt. Could the suit that Chris Pine's Captain Kirk is wearing be for Captain and Senior Officers only? I just can't wait to see what kind of villain Brit "Luther" actor, Idris Elba will be portraying in the 2016 highly-anticipated sequel, that celebrates the franchises 50th anniversary.
We can assume that classic Captain Kirk, William Shatner will be present in some sort of a way along with his original crew, minus original Bones McCoy, DeForest Kelley, who sadly passed away in the early 90's, original Scotty, James Doohan, who passed away in 2005 and the late great Leonard Nimoy aka Mr Spock, who passed away earlier this year.
CONTRACTS RENEWED FOR A STAR TREK IV?
On other Star Trek related news, during the month of July this year, Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto have reportedly signed on for a fourth film in the rebooted franchise. They have both been given $6 million each for an option to star in a third sequel, should the third film in the franchise be a success.
There's no news as of yet if any of the rest of the cast and signed on or even decided to come back, then again, this quick contract renewal has not yet been confirmed either so take everything with a pinch of salt until Paramount confirm their future plans sometimes within the next year or so.
