Rise of Skywalker cast on Trek

[Khan 2.0]

Would they do Star Trek? Oscar & Rey would - although she thinks they about to do the 3rd one. (another blow for non event Beyond!)

Way to switch teams ...

John Boyega's reaction tho

 

[Dales]

I may have said this before and have forgotten so I will say it again.

jj loved star wars more. fine.

when he did the force awakens, he should have left star wars and done star trek beyond, now he leaves star wars In ruins, why trek is still okay and no where near as damaged as star wars.

Oh you're making this tough for me, but M'Sharak'll tear me a new one...

(imagine if JJ heads back to Trek with a couple of SW actors.)

Why would that ever be a problem?

Many actors have done both Trek and SW.

 

[M'Sharak]

I may have said this before

Only dozens of times.

and have forgotten

I have my doubts concerning this.

so I will say it again.

It's really not necessary. Everyone heard you quite clearly all of the other times.

None of this has anything whatsoever to do with the topic of this thread.

Am very sorry about that M'Sharak but trek and wars have had a rivalry for years, it goes beyond the actors and directors, its very hard for a topic that is barely supposed to be related to that rivalry not become about it when you put star trek and star wars in the same sentence.

I know this from the Carrie Fisher and William Shatner friendly rivalry when they talked about trek and wars, which in a way brings me back to this topic, like Carrie, daisy does not seem to know a lot about trek. she thinks they are making a 3rd movie.

The Trek vs Wars rivalry is silly. They're not rival sports teams or political parties. Why shouldn't they share talent, offscreen and off?

Heck, back in the day, STAR TREK, BATMAN, TWILIGHT ZONE, and THE OUTER LIMITS frequently employed the same actors, writers, directors, etc, and nobody thought anything of it. People working in show business at any given time are naturally going to jump from project to project and job to job. That's just how it works.

Staying OT: I'd love to see Daisy Ridley do STAR TREK, or Zachary Quinto do STAR WARS, or any other permutation.

To the point of absurdity.

Because the actors get associated with a role. If Patrick Stewart turned up in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, all people would see is Picard in Star Wars!

Mark Hamill was typecast as Luke Skywalker for decades (for years, he wouldn't have anything to do with SW -- he wouldn't go to cons, he wouldn't sign merchandise, etc.).

It's only been in recent years that he's gotten back into the fandom.

maybe its not such a big deal now. I mean a few years ago itd be unthinkable for DC/Marvel actors to cross over or actors to play multiple superheroes but its happened a good few times now (e.g. Keaton in Spiderman, Affleck as Daredevil/Batman, Evans in Fan4/CapAmerica). no way for the big Trek names like Shatner, Stewart to be in Wars and vice versa Ford, Hamill in Trek (not that itd ever happen for any.. actually maybe Stewart could get away with it) but the not so 'iconic' Trek/Wars actors it would be no problem (e.g. Pine, Quinto, Saldana, Urban, Isaacs, Yeoh in Wars.. Ridley, Oscar, Driver, and even Ewan, Liam, SLJ in Trek)

 

[Malaika]

Anyways, they didn't ask the most important guy:

He's the star of the franchise right now. Baby groot got some competition.


(Am I accidentally suggesting that maybe trek needs a super cute baby character too? Yep. But then again, trek people suck with gadgets and stuff or Uhura's vokaya necklace would now be available for all the boyfriends and girlfriends who want to give their significant other a special 'tracking device' vulcan amulet)

Eta: I remembered that when JJ was hired for Star Wars, Zoe and others were joking about wanting to play a character in star wars too. Since they didn't get the chance, maybe it wouldn't be fair for star wars actors to now be in trek but.. I'm good so why not. Or send them an Enterprise uniform, at least.

 

[NewHeavensNewEarth]

I loved Keri Russell in The Americans, and I'd probably love her in the new Section 31 show, too, if she were to do Trek.

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

I actually suggested on Twitter that if they do a hard reboot of Star Trek instead of a new Kelvin film that John Boyega could be the new Kirk. A Twitter friend made that a reality:

If not Boyega, Isaac would make a great pansexual James Kirk.

I don't know. Somehow people coped with Robert Downey Jr. playing Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes at the same time (and, soon, Doctor Doolittle). And I could cite umpteen examples from movie and TV history. Heck, Buster Crabbe played Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers AND Tarzan back in the day. See also Lon Chaney Jr, who played the Wolf Man, the Frankenstein Monster, Dracula AND the Mummy back in the forties. Or Roger Moore, who played James Bond, Sherlock Holmes AND The Saint. Etc.

Never confused me as a kid.

 

[Alexander Corrino]

I for one wouldn't mind for Sir Patrick to be on that Baby Yoda Show - I've always viewed him as an actor, not as one of his characters. However, I think my universe would still implode because of THE CUTE if he interacted with Baby Yoda.

Indeed. Locking in an actor to one role pretty much is the height of absurdity to me.
