The plot line of Beyond ushers in a welcome change-of-pace Karl Urban as Lieutenant Commander Leonard McCoy: after two largely Earth bound stories. The setup also allows If there’s one thing that practically everyone agrees on, director Justin Lin to place the characters in situations it’s that Urban absolutely nails the role of Bones. So, we haven’t seen them in yet. Scattered across the planet, there is no surprise as he reprises his role of Leonard they end up working in pairs with “unusual compatriots, ” “Bones” McCoy.

While the survival on an alien planet would be tough in itself, being out in space for so long is bound to take a mental toll on the characters as well, bringing out a sea of emotions on display, perhaps even from Spock. THE CAST Chris Pine as Captain James Tiberius Kirk: Chris Pine will play James Tiberius Kirk for the third time in Star Trek Beyond. With the movie doubling down on the action, Kirk will be getting a fair share of the heroics while also showcasing more of his wiser self, now that he has a couple of years of command experience. Idris Elba as Krall: Best known for his work on the HBO series The Wire, British actor Idris Elba will play the titular villain Krall. This reptilian alien could potentially be the most menacing threat Captain Kirk and his crew have faced yet, seeing that Krall vehemently opposes the ideals of the Federation and everything it stands for.

Zachary Quinto as Commander Spock: Zachary Quinto is back as Commander Spock, the green blooded Vulcan who sports a bouffant bowl cut. Having worked alongside Kirk for a couple of years, Spock is expected to be a more logical, less hot-headed take on the character, closer to Sofia Boutella as Jaylah:Unrecognizable under the heavy Leonard Nimoy’s defining original performance.
