It was announced that Idris Elba will also be playing a role in the upcoming film. He will be the film's villain Krall. Elba previously spoke to Entertainment Weekly about what to expect for his role. With that, he explained that his character is a man with purpose.
He said, "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. It felt quite political. There's a relatability to what's happening in our world. Not everybody's happy with what everybody calls the good guys."
In addition, Elba elaborated that Krall will definitely bring a lot of challenges for the upcoming film. He stated that Krall has a well earned hatred among the other character, which will be his motivation for destruction.
He added, "Krall is predatory. He's not one for big speeches. He is one for going to get what he wants. If that means having to do it himself, outside of his army, he is not afraid to do that."
With that, fans can expect a lot of action for the upcoming film. "Star Trek Beyond" is expected to hit theaters this Jul. 22.
