Although character actor Bruce Greenwood<\/strong> (Captain Christopher Pike) has plenty of acting work, he would not be averse to returning to the Star Trek<\/em> world.<\/p>\n

Pike could return, according to Greenwood, and since Star Trek XII<\/em> is in an alternate reality, anything can happen to the character, who is not bound by “canon Trek.” “Oh, I’ll be there in a second, in a hot second,” he said. “I know they\u2019re writing the script and I encourage them whenever I see them to make Pike a critical element.”<\/p>\n

Would Pike be in the wheelchair though? “I don’t know necessarily,” said Greenwood. “I think with the latitude of the parallel universe I might be able to get out of the chair, and I’m hoping the mentorship between myself and Kirk (Chris Pine<\/strong>) continues.”<\/p>\n

Greenwood spoke about his experience in preparing for Star Trek XI<\/em>. “I was woefully ignorant [about Star Trek<\/em>],” he said. “I’d watched it as a kid, off and on, but mostly to see the hot girls in the tight outfits, and then I started doing my homework once I got the role. I became aware of Jeffrey Hunter in a more distinct way, and his contributions and the legion of fans he had from creating that role. I thought, ‘Oh, God, what now?’ because my Pike had been written as a very different character. The central dilemma for Jeffrey Hunter<\/strong> is not the central dilemma for my Pike. I was fortunate in that regard, that I wasn\u2019t playing the same conflicts.”<\/p>\n

The finished film was perfect and Greenwood gave J.J. Abrams<\/strong> the credit. “It wasn’t in 3-D, but the movie feels amazingly three-dimensional,” said Greenwood. “Visually, it’s spectacularly open, and the humor and tempo, I think, were perfect. I think that J.J. is a singularly talented guy. He managed to keep all these plates spinning and at the same time have this heartbeat of real people at the center of it.”<\/p>\n

Greenwood also spoke with Hollywood.com<\/a> where he revealed that although he knew very little about Star Trek XII<\/em>, he did know when shooting on the film would begin. “I just know that the plan is to film in it January,” he said. “More than that, I don’t know.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
