Rumor: Paramount Cancels Star Trek 4 And All Trek Movies After

Yes, but not late middle-aged.

nope. That will be about late 40s to mid 50s. From there you’ll be a senior citizen 55 on.

I was talking about Pine not being a fresh faced kirk anymore now that he’s over 40. He’s going to be TWOK kirk in only a few short years. The last movie still showed him to be pretty immature though. The kirk of TOS took things pretty seriously most of the time at that point.

If they make a fourth Abrams Movie -- and I personally don't think they will -- then I'd peg Kirk as being not young/fresh-faced, but not "midlife-crisis" TWOK Kirk either.

In Star Trek Beyond, Kirk was already moving passed the "I'm a young buck!" phase and into something more mature. So a hypothetical fourth movie would continue that. Pine played a Kirk who just turned 30 in Star Trek Beyond. The character's age doesn't match the actor's. If a fourth movie gets made, I don't think they'll have it be "10 years later". I don't see it.

Exactly. So, maybe he won't be TWOK or TMP Kirk at all but have a "different life" to borrow a phrase from ST 09.

If enough people were not showing up to see Kirk and Spock on the big screen, the “Fanwank Adventures or Robert April” sure as heck isn’t going to be green lit.
Indeed, yes. Especially since it won't use the 60s stylings so it won't be real Star Trek or the real Captain April anyway...:shrug:
