Bryan Cranston Rumored for Villain Role in Star Trek 3

Star Trek 3

By now most Trek fans are aware that Actor Simon Pegg has been moved up the ranks to co-write Star Trek 3‘s script. What we don’t know going into this new version are any details regarding what is next for our intrepid crew.

Film Divider is making claims to know some new information that is sure to set the internet abuzz with questions and excitement. The site sources are claiming that Star Trek 3 will introduce three major new female characters into the fold. The film is said to feature the captain of a Federation vessel, the President of the United Federation of Planets, and most notably Bones’ ex-wife.

The site goes on to make an even bigger claim regarding the new villain the Enterprise crew will face. The studio is said to be looking for a Bryan Cranston-esque actor to play the part of the films antagonist. It is even being reported that Cranston himself has spoken with studio people about taking on the role, but the extent of these talks is still a mystery. None of this is official news so take it with a grain of salt, but it is interesting.

Star Trek 3 opens in U.S. theaters on July 8th, 2016.
