Oh, bless Simon Pegg’s heart! ❤️ He’s practically begging for another Star Trek movie! Someone get this man a tissue and a hug! 😭Apparently, playing Scotty in J.J. Abrams’s lens-flare-a-thon trilogy wasn’t enough to scratch that itch. He needs MORE. Someone stop him! 😂
The poor, poor 55-year-old actor just wants to relive those glory days of pretending to know what warp speed is. 🚀 From 2009’s Star Trek to 2016’s Star Trek Beyond (which, let’s be honest, most of us have already forgotten), Pegg has apparently developed a deep, unshakeable bond with his co-stars. Or, you know, maybe he just misses the paychecks. 💰 We’re not judging. Much. 😉
Speaking at STLV: Trek to Vegas 2025 (yes, you read that right, 2025!), he regaled fans with tales of scripts being “developed” and other vague promises. 🤔 “It’s about time!” he declared, as if the universe was holding its breath for another installment of this saga. 🙄 He envisions the crew “ten years after the five-year mission.” Translation: More geriatric adventures in space. 👴👵🪐 Sign us up… not. 🙅♀️
“If we make another Star Trek, I’ll be so happy because I just want to see my friends again,” Pegg whimpered. Aww, poor baby! 😢 Can’t they just schedule a brunch or something? Must they subject the rest of us to another cinematic black hole just so they can reminisce about the good old days? 🤦♀️ “I see them occasionally,” he added, as if that wasn’t enough to sustain him. The drama! The heartbreak! 💔
“They all live in Los Angeles,” he whined. “I saw Zoe [Saldaña] this year, which was lovely.” Riveting stuff, Simon! Riveting! 😴 “I saw Karl [Urban] a couple of times when I was working on The Boys.” Ooh, name-dropping! We’re impressed! NOT! 😒 “But I miss Chris [Pine] and I miss John [Cho]. We’ve been through a lot together.” Yes, we’re sure battling Klingons and navigating plot holes has forged an unbreakable bond. 🙄
“We’ve been through good times, bad times,” he continued, as if auditioning for a Lifetime movie. 🤣 “And I would love to be able to hang out with those guys again.” Someone get this man a group therapy session, stat! Stat! 🚑
Now, let’s not forget the elephant in the room: the fourth Star Trek movie has been stuck in development hell for ages. 🔥 Director Matt Shakman bailed in 2022, probably after realizing what a mess he was getting into. Can’t blame him. Smart choice, Matt, smart choice! 🤓
Pegg, ever the optimist (or maybe just desperate), hopes that Skydance Media’s takeover of Paramount will magically fix everything. ✨ Because, you know, corporate mergers always lead to creative breakthroughs. NOT! 🤦♂️ He gushes about CEO David Ellison being a “big Star Trek fan.” Yeah, and we’re all big fans of not wasting our time on mediocre movies. But hey, what do we know?🤷♀️
“Well, I know David Ellison is a big Star Trek fan. I know he cares about the series. So I would love it. I would be delighted if we could make another film. I love those guys,” Pegg repeated, like a broken record. 💿 Someone get him a new script, or at least a new catchphrase! 😫
Even the tragic death of Anton Yelchin (RIP 🙏) is being used as emotional leverage. 💔 “And despite how we had a tragedy in our group, which was extremely painful. It would be wonderful to come together again.” Using tragedy to sell tickets? Classy, Simon, classy! 💅 Just kidding! But for real, how many more times are they going to try and resurrect this franchise? Just let it die already! 💀 Please?! 🙏
