Star Trek's Zachary Quinto Still Hoping for a Spock Return Despite Sequel Setbacks

As a die-hard Star Trek fan who has witnessed the captivating journey of Zachary Quinto as Mister Spock, I must say his unwavering dedication to the franchise is truly inspiring. Over the years, he’s proven himself to be more than just an actor, but a passionate advocate for the spirit of exploration and unity that Star Trek embodies.


For nearly a decade now, Zachary Quinto has portrayed Mister Spock in “Star Trek Beyond”, the latest movie installment of the cherished series. Despite this time passing, Quinto hasn’t abandoned the possibility of reprising his role. While he’s kept quite busy with other projects and hasn’t been actively pushing for more “Star Trek” all the time, he expresses his enduring affection for the franchise and believes that new opportunities to return will arise if someone has a great idea.

Discussing the latest NBC medical series he’s working on, titled “Brilliant Minds”, John Quinto momentarily paused to reminisce about his character in “Star Trek” and ponder what possibilities lie ahead for him.

According to Quinto, one fantastic aspect of “Star Trek” is its boundless universe. With countless TV shows, tales, characters, and timelines, the franchise offers endless possibilities. That’s what makes it so exciting! It’s been around for over 50 years, and that’s due to its longevity. If given the chance, I’d embrace it wholeheartedly. In fact, I’d be thrilled beyond belief if it happened.

He’s missed out on reprising one of his early notable roles, specifically from the TV series “Heroes”, many years after the original run. Granted, the spin-off sequel “Heroes Reborn” didn’t fare too well, but Quinto is optimistic that things will go smoother with “Star Trek”.

Quinto expressed that there is no age limit. The original cast had long careers, even into their 50s and 60s, producing movies. The tales may change, but perhaps we won’t sprint on alien planets at the same pace. However, I believe anything can be achieved, and it’s incredibly rewarding for an artist to revisit something after a time gap, developing a fresh connection with it from a completely novel standpoint and viewpoint.

Here’s the official synopsis for Brilliant Minds, Quinto’s series which has a new episode coming on Monday:

As a passionate gamer, I find myself drawn to the character of Dr. Oliver Wolf – an unconventional neurologist who’s as eccentric as he is brilliant. Saddled with a rare condition that offers him a one-of-a-kind perspective on care, he’s on a relentless quest to revolutionize how the world perceives his patients.
