Beginning with J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek (2009), Anton Yelchin played Ensign Pavel Chekov in three Star Trek films before his tragic and untimely death in 2016. Following the James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) of the alternate Kelvin timeline, J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek films re-energized the Star Trek movie franchise, introducing countless new fans to the series. Star Trek: Enterprise ended with a whimper four years before and there had not been a Star Trek feature film since the lackluster Star Trek: Nemesis in 2002.
