Simon Pegg To Play Scotty In JJ Abrams Star Trek

It seems that Simon Pegg is the man of the moment. Not only is Run, Fatboy Run a brilliant film, but it’s rocketed Pegg into the limelight and now he has landed his greatest role to date: Scotty in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek.
So, it turns out that it isn’t going to be James McAvoy playing Scotty as we first thought. We won’t argue with the choice though, Pegg is bound to do a terrific job.
Also announced as a new Enterprise crew member this morning is John Cho, the Harold half of Harold and Kumar. He will play Sulu, the ship’s Helmsman.
So, the Enterprise is very near to becoming full. The cast is as follows:
- Spock:
- Uhura: Zoe Saldana
- Chekhov: Anton Yelchin
- Scotty: Simon Pegg
- Sulu: John Cho
- Captain Kirk: Chris Pine(Rumour)
- The Villain: Eric Bana
Zachary Quinto
So that just leaves only first Enterprise Captain, Christopher Pike, Kirk’s parents and Bones.
What do you think of the casting?
