He further continued,
“And he looked over and he was about to say ‘I wasn’t in the movie’ and he went ‘Yeah, absolutely. I’ll take the photo’ and stole my moment. I’ve been recovering from that ever since”

Talking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the actor talked about what could have been a return to the iconic Star Trek franchise. Talking about how they were planning to make a movie in 2018 that could have received Hemsworth’s character, the actor revealed that everyone eventually got busy and the movie got shelved.
“It wasn’t what I sort of where I was thinking it would have been or could have been. I thought there would be, ‘Okay, cool, let’s figure that out and keep going.’ And then I think everyone got busy and so on. It would be weird now to flash back to your father and “why is he so much older than the first time when he died?”
The Chris Hemsworth starrer received a rating of 7.9/10 on IMDB and 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. Marking the movie as his first movie debut, Star Trek is available to stream on Netflix in the U.S.
