TNG Cast in the Kelvin Universe

Here's my cast:

Captain Jean-Luc Picard - Colin Firth
Commander William Riker - Henry Cavill
Lt. Commander Data - Michael Fassbender
Lt. Commander Worf - Terry Crews
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge - John Boyega
Doctor Beverly Crusher - Anna Kendrick
Counselor Deanna Troi - Emilia Clarke
 
Captain Jean-Luc Picard - Daniel Craig
Commander William Riker - Ryan Gossling
Lt. Commander Data - Jim Parsons
Lt. Commander Worf - Terry Crews
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge - John Boyega
Doctor Beverly Crusher - Bryce Dallas Howard
Counselor Deanna Troi - Olga Kurylenko
 
Captain Jean-Luc Picard - Daniel Craig
Commander William Riker - Ryan Gossling
Lt. Commander Data - Jim Parsons
Lt. Commander Worf - Terry Crews
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge - John Boyega
Doctor Beverly Crusher - Bryce Dallas Howard
Counselor Deanna Troi - Olga Kurylenko
Craig and Gosling, absolutely not. The rest might work.
 
Here's who I'd cast:

Picard - Kenneth Branagh (FIGHT ME)
Riker - Henry Cavill (I agree with everyone else here. He's the clear and obvious choice.)
Crusher - Jessica Chastain (Surprised no one else mentioned her)
Troi - Brie Larson?
Tasha - Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead)
Data - Matthew Goode
Worf - Terry Crews
Geordi - Daniel Kaluuya
O'Brien - Sean Astin
Ro Laren - Jane Levy
Q - Bill Hader
Guinan - Whoopi ONLY WHOOPI
 
I wouldn't mind Craig or Branagh as Picard. I don't know why I didn't think of Terry Crews for Worf! He's an awesome choice!

Some of your choices are the same as mine. I like Goode as Data, and Chastain as Crusher. I'm coming around to Crews as Worf, since his age is kinda immaterial once the make-up is on him. Brie Larson isn't ethnic enough to be Troi, and Larson, Kaluuya, Levy and Goldberg are either too old or too young. Whoopi just ain't Guinan anymore. As for Astin, nah, sorry. I'd prefer a real Irishman in that role.
 
Better still a third year cadet who gets a single thing right, and is immediately made captain of the Federation's flagship.

He's made acting Captain of the cadet ship Stargazer, which is promptly destroyed by a Ferengi warship, and ends up rescued by Captain Edward Jellico of the starship Enterprise. He then pulls a mutiny against Jellico, who I guess was selling secrets to the Cardassians or something, and is given command of the Enterprise at the end of the film as a reward.
 
If Paramount ever does a nuTNG, I won't be surprised if they try snagging Tom Hardy for Picard.

Would be a very conflicting piece of casting. On the one hand he's a well established star that's made a good career after NEMESIS, but on the other hand he did NEMESIS... I can't tell if this would be good or bad.
 
I did write Tom Hardy off after Nemesis, and when I found out he was going to be in Inception I was...not enthused. I can only assume that his acting flaws in Nemesis were either atypically poor decisions on his part or poor decisions on others' parts.
