Idris may or may not be Bond but he will be in Star Trek

[MartyMcFly]

Idris Elba is in early talks to play the villain in “Star Trek 3,” sources tell Variety.

Justin Lin is directing the pic, with Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana and Anton Yelchin all on board to return.

J.J. Abrams will produce along with his producing partner Bryan Burke and Skydance’s David Ellison. Production is set to start in June.

Details of Elba’s role are being kept under wraps. Early rumors suggest that Klingons would be the main villains in this movie, as they have not had a full presence in previous installments, but sources would not confirm if that was the case. Paramount and Skydance had no comment.

Pegg and Doug Jung are writing the script.

Elba stars in Cary Fukunaga’s “Beasts of No Nation,” which Netflix recently acquired for distribution and is already garnering awards buzz for the actor.

He recently finished “Bastille Day” opposite “Cinderella” star Richard Madden and also has “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” Disney’s “The Jungle Book” and the indie “A Hundred Streets” set to bow in the near future.

Idris as a klingon...

As of now, we still know very little about Star Trek 3 when it comes to the story. What we do know so far is that Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana and Anton Yelchin will all be back on the Enterprise, with Pegg pulling double duty as co-writer of the script with Doug Jung. Getting behind the camera this time is Justin Lin of the Fast & Furious franchise, which has certainly raised some eyebrows. And now it's time for the supporting cast to get filled out, including the new villain for the sequel, and Variety has word that Pacific Rim and Thor: The Dark Wold star Idris Elba is in talks for the key role.

As of now there's no word on who he would play, but there have been rumblings of the Klingons being the main adversaries this time. And when you consider the events of Star Trek Into Darkness, which saw Kahn (Benedict Cumberbatch) stirring up some trouble on the Klingon planet of Kronos, it's no surprise that they might be mad at Starfleet. Elba would make for one hell of a Klingon villain, so we're hoping this deal actually gets finalized. In the meantime, hopefully we hear some story details on this sequel soon, and there's likely some more new cast members coming too, so stay tuned.


Elba cant be stopped!....

At the end of the last one they were setting off on their 5 year mission. Id be disappointed if they ended up staying in the solar system for the next one. Go explore. They're not fukking space marines.
