The last time we saw Karl Urban he was fighting back Hela’s dead legion with his friends Des and Troy on Thor Ragnarok. These days, Urban is having to discuss the status of The 4th Star Trek movie and if it will get made. At a recent Star Trek convention Trekonderoga (via Trek Movie), Urban seemed confident he’ll reprise his Star Trek role of Dr. Leonard McCoy in future installments.
“Hopefully, we get back for another movie, or two of them. We are just sort of waiting on negotiations. I’m confident we will. It is really hinging on the availability and the contract negotiations of the two Chrises,” Urban said.
As most fans of the Star Trek series knows, Urban is pointing to the contractual roadblocks with Wonder Woman star Chris Pine and Avengers star Chris Hemsworth, whose contract negotiations with Paramount Studio recently fell through.
“But still, for a movie that cost what it cost to make, the profit margins aren’t that great and so particularly Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pine subsequently have done big movies, and their quotes have gone up. And so I am pretty confident though that Paramount and those guys, they will figure it out. Because I know Chris. We were all in touch recently and everybody wants to do it and make it happen. So, if Paramount is willing, there will be a way to make it happen. So, fingers crossed.”
Do you think Urban’s seeming confidence is warranted with both Chris’s MIA? Have Lt. Uhura open a channel and let us know at GVNation.
