As a die-hard Star Trek fan who has grown up with the franchise, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation whenever news about the Kelvin Universe comes out. It’s been over a decade since we last saw Zachary Quinto as Spock in Star Trek Beyond, and his recent comments about reprising the role have left me feeling hopeful that we might get to see more of the iconic character soon.


Fans who adore Star Trek have long been waiting with anticipation for word on the actors from the Kelvin Universe revisiting the beloved series, and now one of its leading actors has voiced his thoughts on the matter. Even though it’s been more than eight years since their last journey on the USS Enterprise, the actor remains hopeful and thinks there are endless possibilities left for further escapades in the future.

Previously confirmed, Paramount is continuing work on a new Star Trek movie set in the Kelvin Universe, following the storyline from the 2009-2016 trilogy. Although efforts have been made to produce ‘Star Trek 4’, the most recent attempt saw Steve Yockey hired in March to write the script. However, it appears that the film is not yet ready for release, indicating a possible wait of several years before its premiere, which could be over a decade after the 2016 film ‘Star Trek Beyond’. Despite this delay, Star Trek actor Zachary Quinto remains optimistic about his role and the future of the franchise.

Zachary Quinto, known for his role in Star Trek, remains unfazed by delays in the fourth Kelvin Timeline movie’s production. While he’s currently engrossed in his NBC medical drama Brilliant Minds, he maintains a positive outlook on reprising his iconic character Spock in future Star Trek films. In an interview with Variety for his latest project, Quinto expressed his excitement for the Star Trek universe, saying, “The beauty of Star Trek is its infinite possibilities. Look at all the shows, stories, characters, and timelines it has spawned. Anything can happen, and that’s the essence of the franchise. That’s why it’s endured for over 50 years. I’m open to it, I’d love it, and absolutely would.” Despite being occupied with various projects throughout the years and not actively pushing for more Star Trek content, Quinto continues to harbor a deep affection for the Star Trek franchise, believing there will always be chances to portray Spock again when the perfect idea arises.

It’s been about ten years since Zachary Quinto played Spock in “Star Trek Beyond”. Remarkably, he seems open to playing the character again in the future as part of his career. In contrast to his decision to decline a return to his role in “Heroes” when its sequel failed to gain traction, Quinto appears confident that “Star Trek” won’t face the same difficulties. Last year, he spoke about the delays in “Star Trek 4”, attributing them to creative disagreements and the challenges of movie production. Although unsure if the project will progress, Quinto remains hopeful, expressing that if it does, it would be fantastic, but if not, he’s content with the journey thus far.

2016 saw Paramount unveiling plans for a fourth Kelvin Timeline Star Trek film, but its production journey has been anything but smooth. Over the years, various creative minds like Quentin Tarantino, S.J. Clarkson, Noah Hawley, and Matt Shakman have been associated with this project as potential writers or directors. As of 2022, however, Matt Shakman parted ways with the project, leaving it directorless. Steve Yockey, on the other hand, is reportedly fine-tuning the latest script draft.
