The actor, known for roles in Star Trek and Green Room, died in June 2016 after his Jeep Grand Cherokee rolled on to him at his home in Los Angeles.
Yelchin also reprised his Chekov role in subsequent Star Trek films – Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Trek Beyond – the latter of which was released shortly after his death.
The family of the late Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin has settled a wrongful death lawsuit with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles over the rollaway crash of a Jeep Grand Cherokee that killed the up-and-coming actor.
However, it was being cast as Pavel Chekov, navigator of the USS Enterprise in the 2009 Star Trek film, directed by JJ Abrams, that brought his name to a wide international audience.
