Details on Idris Elba’s villain character in “Star Trek Beyond” revealed

Details on Idris Elba’s villain character has been revealed for the forthcoming Star Trek movie.

Contrary to what was previously suspected, Elba’s character is not a new take on the Star Trek species the Gorn.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Elba addresses the type of character he plays

This is a man with a definite purpose. I say a man, but he’s not a man. Or is he?

What’s interesting about him is that he has a real beef with what the Enterprise stands for. Krall’s a character who’s deeply steeped in hatred — in my opinion, a well-earned hatred — for the Federation

Justin Lin is directing Star Trek Beyond, which reunites Zoe Saldana, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, John Cho, and Anton Yelchin.

Star Trek Beyond opens July 22^nd 2016
