Speaking with MTV News in a new interview during his Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation press tour, STAR TREK BEYOND actor and co-writer Simon Pegg talked some more about Idris Elba’s role in next year’s sequel.
It’s a really interesting, complex character,” Pegg told MTV News, and will be different from Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance as Khan in ‘Star Trek Into Darkness.’
“Only because it would be a retread,” Pegg said. “What we don’t want to do is have the same kind of villain with the same motivation.
Pegg already confirmed back in March that Elba would not be appearing as a Klingon in STAR TREK BEYOND, but that still leaves plenty of territory to cover as the bad guy.
