STAR TREK BEYOND Casts Lydia Wilson In Mysterious Role

Relative newcomer Lydia Wilson (About Time, Never let Me Go, Ripper Street) has joined the cast of Justin Lin's Star Trek Beyond. Will she be a friend to Kirk, Spock and the crew of the Enterprise; or perhaps she'll side with Idris Elba's villainous character instead?

 

Star Trek Beyond has beamed up another new recruit in the form of Lydia Wilson, but in keeping with pretty much every other casting announcement for this movie so far, we have no details about the character she'll be playing whatsoever.

Wilson will probably be best known for playing Domhnall Gleeson’s sister in the Richard Curtis romantic comedy About Time, but she also popped up in the haunting sci-fi drama, Never let Me Go. Whoever she's playing she joins returning cast members Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana and Anton Yelchin; along with other new faces Joe Taslim, Sofia Boutella, and Idris Elba - who we do know will play a villain, at least.

This installment in the rebooted Trek franchise will be directed by Justin Lin from a script by Simon Pegg and Doug Jung, and is set to hit theters July 8, 2016.
