Cho: Star Trek 4?
1 min readWhile doing promotion for his new series Selfie, John Cho addressed the future of Star Trek beyond Star Trek 3.
Cho was asked if this would be the last Trek movie for “your team, or for you as Sulu.”
“The reason I hesitate [to answer] is just wondering if we could get everyone,” said Cho “It seems to be an all or nothing proposition. Getting a whole cast together, that’s tough.”
But Cho would like to return for a fourth movie. “I want to say, for me, sure, let’s do another. I enjoy that group. I enjoy what Star Trek films do in general and say in general. And I will say one of the pleasures of having been in Star Trek movies has been seeing what effect they have in society, like astronauts saying, ‘I kind of got into this line of work because my imagination was sparked from watching Star Trek.’ That is very cool. What I’m trying to say is, I just stand by that product.”
What if everyone could return but one? Would the rest of the group return even though one would be recast? “I would have to think about that,” said Cho. “I guess you’d have to see when you got there, but I would like to keep it all together.”
Seems like a pretty silly question to me. They haven’t even started production on the third movie, why would a cast member know if a fourth film was a possibility?
They’re just trying to squeeze more blood out of the turnip to keep getting the movie franchise publicity to maintain its pop culture relevance. It IS a silly question but it’s one of those Tiger Beat issues from the 1970s.

Newsflash Harold, those astronauts didn’t grow up watching *your* brand of Star Trek.
I hope not. I’d hate to see the JJ-Trek series get as many or more films then the TNG or TOS cast did!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Actually, I don’t mind the cast too much, but it’s the minor things that are missing, like a story, reasons for things happening, a story, dialoge, a story that makes me hope this is the last of this mess. I’m praying that the real James T Kirk can find a way to destroy one last threat to the universe
Damn it, here I was all ready to call him “Harold” and you beat me to it….
With the exceptions of Pegg and Saldana I don’t have a problem with the casting, either…. but really, does anyone get the sense that anyone in the cast really GIVES a shit about these movies, other than as gigs? ‘Cause I sure don’t. The guy who gives me the impression of caring the most is Karl Urban, and look how little he gets used….
I put my money on after star trek 3, later on down the line they are going to reboot star trek the next generation. watch what i tell you.
On my list everyone sucks except Urban as Dr. McCoy (and perhaps Quinto as Spock).
I’m praying the real Kirk will tell the pseudo Kirk how much he sucks and, of course, burst that pseudo bubble universe.
Looks like you picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines.
Silly Sulu it would be a 14th not a 4th
No, it’s fourth. This is a brand new series that has zero to do with the first ten films and six TV shows past the use of the various names. People didn’t refer to the last Batman movie (The Dark Knight Rises) as Batman 10.
Where does this insult come from? I have heard people say this before.
He picked it back when he and Kumar (who will probably also be showing up in the JJverse soon) were making White Castle runs.
