They could do so many new stories instead, as I'm knackered by prequels in general. One positive I forsee is that this can't possibly rely on Spock/Kirk bait to make get the fans onboard. Maybe we'll catch a glimpse of the Phoenix in the Smithsonian?
It'll have to be a new cast in post-2063 setting, probably circa 2100s, and I'm all for seeing a new crew.
It’ll be 2063 in real time when this movie is actually in the theaters.
