As aStar Trekcharacter that audiences already bang of via the Abrams picture andStrange New Worlds , Pike could be the unadulterated templet to the timeline changes that occur after the destruction of the USS Kelvin .

3The Adventures of George Samuel Kirk
Set in the Prime Star Trek timeline
If Paramount were unable to get Chris Hemsworth back for their newStar Trekorigin movie , then there is a workaround .

Chris Hemsworth’sThorco - star Idris Elba toy Captain Balthazar M. Edison a.k.a . Krall inJustin Lin’sStar Trek Beyond . Edison was the commanding policeman aboard the USS Franklin , which went missing in activeness in 2164 , three years after the United Federation of Planets was founded . Edison was resentful of a more peaceful and diplomatic future which rendered him obsolete . Idris Elba ’s Captain Edison could be a captivating protagonist for a very unlike , more morally ambiguousStar Trekmovie .

Abrams movies , theatregoer may not be mindful of how Edison ’s account stop , allow the movie to extract off some big twists as the Starfleet officer embraces the darkness on Altamid .

AStar Trek : Enterprisecomebackis at the extreme end of possibility for the newStar Trekorigin movie . A theatrical sequel to a TV show that was canceled in 2005 does n’t scream boxful office gold . However , it ’s hard to deny that Captain Jonathan Archer ( Scott Bakula ) and the crew of the Enterprise NX-01 do n’t have unfinished job . There was a six - year gap between the last two episode ofEnterpriseseason 4 , which does allow plenty of opportunities for more adventures for the NX-01 . However , it ’s been almost 19 years sinceEnterpriseended , which would be a difficult hurdle to whelm to believably come back to that era .
However , production art forStar Trek : Enterpriseseason 4 , sequence 19 , " In a Mirror , Darkly , Part II " revealed that Jonathan Archer became Federation President in 2145 . Scott Bakula could therefore be the perfect cast for a picture that tells the line of descent account of Starfleet and the Federation .
