While the movie hasn’t even premiered, Australian actor Chris Hemsworth is supposedly reprising his character for Star Trek’s fourth installation.

Gene Roddenberry’s science fiction franchise is celebrating its 50th birthday this year.
With the recent announcement of “Star Trek 4” bringing Kirk’s dad, Chris Hemsworth, back to the Final Froniter, the crew of the Enterprise will obviously return.
The start of the film is slow, with a great deal of exposition.
For Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan in 1982, newcomer James Horner was hired to write the music because they couldn’t afford A-lister Jerry Goldsmith, who scored the first film.
With positive notes from audience and critics alike, producers are ready to roll out the new installment for the new “Star Trek” series.
“It was very important to Doug, Justin and I going in to try and create a hybrid of an episode of the original series with a spectacular cinematic event”, explains Pegg, a lifelong Trek fan who also plays ship’s engineer Montgomery Scott in the reboots. He decides to go on one last mission with his crew which includes Spock (Zachary Quinto), Dr. Bones (Karl Urban), Lt. Uhura (Zoey Zaldana), Sulu (John Cho), Chekov (the late Anton Yelchin) and Montgomery “Scotty” Scott (Simon Pegg), before trouble happens and a villain named Krull (Idris Elba) captures a lot of them. After Walker tragically died in a auto accident, we were all anxious how the Fast & Furious franchise would address the absence of Brian O’Conner. “I can’t possibly imagine that, and I think Anton deserves better”, says the film-maker.
“It will never stop being bad”, Pegg said. But, it was the handling of it that was the most important to me. At times it was. As far as his on-screen dad, he said, “I want something at least as entertaining as (Indiana Jones and) The Last Crusade”. “He’s alive and he’s happy and he will be there forever”.
