Acttress Sofia Boutella has been cast in a lead role for the Justin Lin-directed Star Trek 3. Boutella recently appeared in Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman: The Secret Service as an assassin with blades as legs. She goes from that to an unknown role in Star Trek 3.
Star Trek 3 has had quite a rollercoaster of a ride. The first movie was awesome, the second movie… not so much. Then J.J. Abrams left Star Trek for Star Wars. Since then, Justin Lin from Fast and Furious was brought in to direct, and Simon Pegg is working on the script. Idris Elba was recently announced as the main villain, so the addition of Boutella, a fresh face who made quite the impression in Kingsman, only adds to the building momentum of Star Trek 3.
