This is good news for Star Trek fans, as Urban expressed some reluctance about returning for Star Trek Beyond after his personal disappointment with Star Trek Into Darkness.
The followup, Star Trek Into Darkness, also enjoyed mainstream success, but was decidedly more divisive among Star Trek fans. Last year’s Star Trek Beyond, directed by The Fast and the Furious veteran Justin Lin, was beloved by fans but ended up with relatively disappointing box office returns, leaving the franchise’s future in peril.
Thor: Ragnarok star Karl Urban is hoping he gets to revisit his other big budget franchise, as fans await official word on a fourth entry in the rebooted Star Trek film series.
