Casting on the highly anticipated follow-up to director J.J. Abrams‘ 2009 Star Trek revival, simply known as Star Trek 2 at the moment, continues to happen at a quick pace.
It’s being reported that Peter Weller, star of such titles as RoboCop, Dexter, and 24, has been added to the cast. At the moment, however, nothing is known about who he might be playing.
Weller joins fellow newcomers Benicio Del Toro and Alice Eve, who are also up for roles of little detail. We know Del Toro is playing the film’s villain, but apart from that nothing is being shared.
This won’t be Weller’s first visit to the Star Trek universe, either. The actor played a character named John Frederick Paxton in two episodes of the TV series Star Trek: Enterprise back in 2005.
The rest of the cast consists of returning stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and most of the others who are expected to return.
