Hot on the heels of this week’s news that Eric Bana has signed on to play the main bad character in Star Trek XI, The Hollywood Reporter and Variety bring word of two more additions to the cast. Bana is seriously hot and a worthy actor to play the next “Star Trek” villain in my opinion.

First, Variety reports that Abrams has found his chief engineer, the role of Montgomery “Scotty” Scott has been filled by none other than Simon Pegg, the British actor best known for his work in comedies such as “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz”. Pegg is perfect for the role, he has slwoly become a great comedic talent and a terrific actor.

This project is looking more and more appealing as these deals go through. This may be the start of a new franchise with new actors, talk about breathing life into stale characters! I have never been a huge fan of this series but after these two announcements I may just become a super fan.
