But that was really all he took away from the Trek universe. &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t that there was anything in particular that felt like this one thing that has to be in the sequel,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The universe Roddenberry created was so vast. And so it&#8217;s hard to say there&#8217;s one particular thing that stands out as what the sequel must be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This makes it a bit tougher when it comes to making a second movie. &#8220;Which is, on the one hand, a great opportunity, on the other hand, it&#8217;s the greatest challenge,&#8221; said Abrams. &#8220;Where do you go? What do you focus on?
