I wonder who she will be playing?? Here is the source: http://trekcore.com/blog/2015/04/sofia-boutella-star-trek-3/
Sofia Boutella added to ST3 Cast
- Thread starter PDX Trek
- Start date
I'm calling it. She will play ass kicking Miri.
No?
No?
Somebody who's gonna to be kickass.
I don't think she's been officially confirmed as returning yet, though her status as a member of the crew at the end of STID and connection to Kirk would suggest she is. But I'm not sure why the announcement about Boutella would have any bearing on Eve's presence in the film or not. It's not as if they have to get rid of one woman to add another.
IMDB has nothing (their info is notoriously unreliable before a film comes out, though, so it wouldn't be a guarantee of anything, regardless), and I couldn't find any articles confirming her return in a quick search, but she's likely coming back. I'm sure they had her sign a multi-picture contract.
Plus it'd be weird to make such a big deal of introducing Carol Marcus and making her part of the crew, only to then immediately write her out of the next movie. Anyway, this is cool casting. I can already picture a scene where she kicks Kirk's ass (seriously, he gets his ass beat in every movie now it seems). My first thought was that she'd play a Klingon, but I could also see her playing a Romulan, or Vulcan, etc.
I loved Sofia Boutella in Street Dancer a few years back.
Just because Alice Eve (probably) signed a multi-picture contract, does not mean the producers have to use her, they only have to call her and make a offer if they use the character again.
There is the consideration of just how many "main " characters the movie can have, before Sulu and Chekov get reduced to zero.
Also, nothing says that Sofia Boutella is going to have a major role.

calling it a 'lead' role seems to suggest it's big, though
as for Alice Eve, she doesn't seem to have signed a contract for more movies
in fact, after stid she said she wants to be in the next movie but she doesn't want to say she will be in it too soon, implying that her presence is not a given.
I think she has a contract more similar to Bruce Greenwood's one, but definitely not a 'option for 3 movies at least' kind of contract that the main 7 actors signed.
It would be weird if she's not there.
Also, it would feel like this is the second time Carol's character is dropped from a sequel.

Which is why I never said that it means they have to use her. I just said that she's likely contracted in case they do want to use her again, which given the outcome of the last film, seems probable.
A Starfleet captain and Starfleet is the villain. Make it so!

Why did they "drop" her anyway? Given how big they made of her in TWOK, her complete lack of appearances in any of the other films really stuck out as weird.
Because she can't act?
Bibi Besch?

Yeah, Bibi Besch did a fine job as Carol Marcus.
For budgetary reasons and because Bennett felt her character was extraneous to the story.
She was nominated for an Emmy for two separate roles: a TV movie called Doing Time on Maple Drive and a recurring role as Janine Turner's mom on Northern Exposure. I know Emmy nominations are not necessarily a guarantee of good acting, but it ain't nothin' either.
In all honesty, what would she have done in the follow on movies?
Carol could have completely replaced David (thereby removing the character of David) and realistically it would have been her as the Genesis team leader (and not David) who would have made the decision to employ protomatter.
TPTB never went anywhere with the supposed romance between David and Saavik. And Carol's knife death by the Klingon soldier would have likely of had more impact on the audience than David's. A middle aged woman verses a young man.
