In “Star Trek Beyond,” the third installment of the latest
trilogy of “Star Trek” films out in theaters on Friday, the crew
of the Enterprise explores the furthest realms of charted space,
where they encounter a new mysterious enemy who puts them, and
everything that the Federation stands for, to the test.
Elba plays Krall, the villain responsible for destroying the
Federation star ship Enterprise, who has human origins,
something the actor wanted to convey when creating a voice for
the character.
"English was perhaps his first language, then he learned another
language, and then he had to redesign his brain to speak English
again so we had to think about how the voice was going to work,”
the actor said.
"Star Trek," created in 1966 by Gene Roddenberry and celebrating
its 50th anniversary this year, was the first mainstream
television show utilizing a racially diverse cast, something
that Elba relished watching with his parents while growing up.
“It was great to see a great diverse cast on TV, even before we
knew what that was. But it was very interesting to hear a
Scotsman, a black woman, an Asian all in one TV show, flying
around space. That was pretty out there," he said.
"Star Trek Beyond" will have its world premiere at the Comic-Con
convention in San Diego on July 20.
