I just knew that I wanted to be a part of it. I wasn&#8217;t sure how it&#8217;d juggle out. There were just a lot of characters to get to, it was a big story to tell, and I wasn&#8217;t expecting a huge arc.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><a href=\"http:\/\/www.trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/SmallCho.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-12866\" title=\"SmallCho\" src=\"http:\/\/www.trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/SmallCho.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"101\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>What Cho got was a fun fight scene. &#8220;But that scene, the fight, was spectacular,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It was something I hadn&#8217;t done before. It was new territory for me. So I was very happy with what I had, to answer your question.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cho was impressed when he first saw <em>Star Trek XI<\/em>. &#8220;But I can only tell you what my reaction was,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I was just screaming the first time we screened the movie. It was on the Paramount lot. The main cast was there and everyone was going nuts, as I was. I kind of forgot that I was in the movie. A lot of actors watch movies, watch themselves, in a very critical way and they start nitpicking. The movie was so exciting that I actually forgot to beat myself up. And I thought the guy playing Sulu was OK.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What does Cho want for Sulu in the next movie? &#8220;Sulu&#8217;s battle was external in the first one,&#8221; said Cho, &#8220;and I think it&#8217;d be interesting to see him have an internal battle of some sort. That would be fun for me, for him to struggle with a decision.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Cho was satisfied with his work in Star Trek XI, and the actor who&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413,2689,2401],"tags":[2510,2511],"class_list":["post-12865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","category-star-trek-xii","category-star-trek-xi","tag-cho","tag-sulu"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-xii\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek Into Darkness<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-xi\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: XI<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: XI","comment_count":"6","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12865"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12865\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12868,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12865\/revisions\/12868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
