Simon Pegg, the star of movies like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz who plays Scotty in the most recent Star Trek movies, is set to co-write Star Trek 3 along with Dark Blue creator and writer Doug Jung.

Fast and Furious director Justin Lin recently took over as director on the movie, after J.J. Abrams moved on to Star Wars: The Force Awakens and previous director Roberto Orci exited the project. Both Abrams and Orci remain producers.

While known as an actor, Pegg has done plenty of writing as well. He wrote Spaced, co-wrote Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End with Edgar Wright, co-wrote Run, Fat Boy, Run with Michael Ian Black, and co-wrote Paul with Nick Frost, among other things.
