Recast TOS Characters in the STD-Verse

[Kane_Steel]

Since Discovery seems to be going the direction of bringing the TOS characters into the fold now, who would you recast in the roles of various TOS characters.

*All of the Abrams-verse actors are disqualified for this, since Discovery has already shown that they aren't keeping the same actors from that universe (didn't keep Ben Cross and Winonna Ryder's versions of Sarek/Amanda)


Anson Mount as Captain Christopher Pike:

"
Recast TOS Characters for Discovery"

Fixed that for you.

 

[XCV330]

Morena Barracarin as Una
Seth Rogan as Matt Decker
James Franco as random Cardassian Guy that vaguely looks like Tommy Wiseau
Tommy Wiseau as random Nausiccan Guy that vaguely looks like James Franco
Dave Franco as young Jim Kirk that vaguely looks like Dave Franco

 

[Cyrus]

Adam Nimoy as Spock
Instead of recasting they should try to get the Kelvin movies actors.

Nope. That would just embolden the fans who keep trying to claim that Discovery isn't set in the Prime Timeline and is a franchise reboot (neither of which are things that are true).

Stop acting like those things are mutually exclusive and get a fucking clue.

 

[DigificWriter]

^ I'm not the one who needs to "get a f-ing clue" because I'm not the one insisting that something is true when it isn't.

You can keep insisting all you want that Discovery is a reboot of the Trek franchise and isn't set in the Prime Timeline, but it won't make you any less wrong.

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

Why not leave the Prime Universe characters alone and have the DiscoVerse show us some new and original characters instead?

There's no such thing as "the DiscoVerse".

 

[CorporalClegg]

Also, since it's obvious Boyce will be a pivotal character, if they don't hire Slattery, I will break stuff.

 

[Captain of the USS Averof]

There's no such thing as "the DiscoVerse".

If you don’t like the Discoverse™ then don’t watch it. Like others have done with the Kelvinverse movies.

 

[INACTIVERedDwarf]

Todd Haberkorn already does an amazing job. Just hire him, because in all frankness, I can't see a Hollywood actor doing so well as a fan actor at mimicking such a classic character.

 

[cultcross]

get a fucking clue.

Rein it in please, comments like this aren't acceptable.

 

[Kane_Steel]

Hayley Atwell as Number One.

I'd love it, but she may be too distractingly attractive for this show. I think she would have made a fantastic female lead though. She has a magnetic screen presence.



Another casting for the STD verse;

Lee Pace as Captain Garth:

 

[Dave Scarpa]

Anson Moun would be a good choice for Pike, and he would get to Actually Speak unlike Inhumans, he was good In Hell On Wheels

I like the Prime Universe very much, thank you.

And since Discovery is set in the Prime Universe, I'll continue to watch it.

And if you just can't accept the reality of DSC being a Prime Universe series, maybe you're the one who shouldn't continue watching it.
