It's just hard for me to see what the draw is here. I get that it's Chris Hemsworth/Thor, but I mean Hemsworth has proven to not be a draw outside of Marvel.
Now obviously the story can change my mind. Star Trek Beyond turned out a lot better than I expected. But I think Star Trek Beyond work because even though it's the original crew and the Enterprise, it felt like they were finally telling their own story.
It wasn't like George was this long tenured legendary captain and Kirk has to step out of his shadow. George was thrust into a terrible situation and did just about what any good officer of Starfleet should've done.
I mean outside of the human emotional factor, hasn't Kirk already surpassed his father? What is he so worried about now?
Now here's another theory I will put forth. Will the new movie effectively re-write the timeline and undo some of the first movie?
I mean that might sound crazy...but then look at X-Men: Days of Future Past.
It can't be flashbacks because it talks about Kirk and his father crossing paths.
this pretty much says a time travel story for next film is in the works.it
appears all the surviving principals are already signed for next film.
Before filming on Beyond started, the cast negotiated for higher pay. The studio agreed, on the condition that they add another sequel option.
But he's enlightened that he finally got to meet his father who he always wanted to meet.
Maybe they are planning to do a "Yesterday's Enterpise" type of story in the next film. That could allow Kirk's Dad to be in the film.
My gut right now says this Hemsworth news is an indication that the fourth film will be the last film with this crew. I don't know... This series starts off with the idea it's an alternate timeline. Going back possibly to the moment it was all altered? Could be a way to end it all and say it's been reset again only back to the old timeline. I'm not for or against it. I happen to have enjoyed the previous films with this cast and am really looking forward to BEYOND. That said I am not sure a lot of people thought we were going to get six films out of this incarnation the way the original cast did from 1979-1996. I can see the fourth film being a way to wrap this timeline up. Again, not saying I am pro that but something about already going back to the first film feels very much like a bookend finale in some way. Trek would continue but in some other form. I mean we already have a streaming series coming out.
That's why I gave the thought that they are closing the loop with the fourth one and possibly resetting the timeline for good.
I know the assumption is that this next film will be about time travel.
But George Kirk could have survived.
they brought on the co-writers of failed script to write the next one? You would think Pegg and his co-writer would be hired.
bringing back hemsworth screams they hope to think advantage of popularty of MCU ignoring fact hemsworth is worth nothing to GA when he's not playing thor.
