Star Trek: Unusual New Worlds focuses on the years earlier than James Kirk was captain of the Enterprise, with Anson Mount‘s Christopher Pike on the helm. Paul Wesley recurs as Kirk, now a primary officer who sometimes crosses paths with the Enterprise crew. He has additionally performed variations of Kirk in alternate timelines.
We now know that Unusual New Worlds will finish with its fifth season (the third is presently airing), and it’s not possible to not begin questioning what that might imply for the way forward for Wesley’s character. In spite of everything, what about seeing Kirk in that captain’s chair on the Enterprise? There’s already speak — although no severe discussions, the chief producers have stated — of a Yr One sequence following that character. And so when TV Insider caught up with Paul Wesley, we needed to ask about his curiosity in a Star Trek spinoff..
“It’s lower than me, however I’ve expressed my want, in all probability all too typically, to the showrunners and whomever else asks. I’d love nothing greater than to do a Kirk sequence together with our beloved characters in TOS and introduce the characters that we’ve got but to introduce in TOS, Chekov and Sulu, and, I imply, you identify it. And I feel it could be unbelievable,” he stated.
He then pointed to what govt producer Akiva Goldsman has stated: “The top of Unusual New Worlds after which the start, which is the primary episode of TOS the place we meet Kirk, which is “The place No Man Has Gone Earlier than,” there’s a piece of time in between there. So you have got Kirk on the helm in episodes that we’ve got but to see.”
Having a Yr One present would rely on, in fact, extra than simply Wesley’s want, and he famous that he couldn’t converse for the present runners and what they may have deliberate or whether or not Paramount would have an interest. “However talking as somewhat child who needs to play in a sequence, I feel there’s a lot room to discover,” he added. “And I feel you’ll be able to go into the TOS type of time. You’ll be able to discover time between episodes, you’ll be able to discover time earlier than the primary episode. There’s simply a lot story to be mined right here, and I’d love nothing greater than to play in that sequence.”
