Star Trek 3 could be called Star Trek Beyond

2009's Star Trek brought the ailing sci-fi franchise back into the big time and 2013's Into Darkness was a global box office success, so naturally there's a sequel on the way.

With previous director JJ Abrams decamping to the Star Wars univers (Traitor!) it's time for some new blood behind the camera and we're getting Justin Lin. He's the man best known for making the Fast and Furious franchise into the blockbuster it is today, helming numbers 3 to 6 in the massive series. Now he's going into the far future and deep space with Star Trek 3.He's got some help in that as well, thanks to acting regular Simon Pegg who is also on board to co-write the script this time around. He's collaborating with TV scribe DougJung (Banshee, Dark Blue) on a film which will likely follow the ending of Into Darkness, with the crew heading off on a five year mission into deep space.
