Just before the release of Star Trek: Beyond, actor John Cho revealed his version of Mr. Sulu is a gay man with a husband and daughter, paying homage to George Takei.
“The new series has to remind audiences the message of Star Trek — continuing to push boundaries.
The first trailer for Star Trek Discovery was recently released at Comic-Con, with Fuller saying of the series: “It’s not going to be episodic.
And the fact that they embraced that idea and made John Cho’s portrayal as Sulu a gay man was a lovely move of inclusivity.”
