Why Star Trek 4 Is Taking So Long
Star Trek 4 has suffered multiple delays over the years due to myriad factors, including actor negotiations, a constant shuffle of directors, and studio trepidation about the franchise. Set in the Kelvin Timeline, which re-established Star Trek after the original series featuring Captain Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise ended their decades-long theatrical reign, the series picked up in a new direction that would both honor the Prime Timeline while boldly going in a new direction. The new crew includes Chris Pine as Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Karl Urban as McCoy, John Cho as Sulu, and Simon Pegg as Scotty. Actor Anton Yelchin, who played Chekov, died in 2016.
