In 2020, Pegg, who has portrayed Lieutenant Commander Montgomery Scott, a.k.a. Scotty, since J.J. Abrams’ reboot, suggested that instead of trying to compete with the likes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Star Trek franchise should instead embrace its roots and try to do something more in line with the original series.
Does this mean Pegg, or anyone else from the current film franchise, will return in the future? It’s hard to say, especially with fans beginning to give up on a fourth film. But, hey, with another Star Trek movie in the works, this might not be the end of the road for Starfleet.
