Idris Elba Explores The Complexity Behind Krall In A New STAR TREK BEYOND Featurette
Thor star Idris Elba has really been raising the bar for villains this year, and he looks all set to do it again next week as Krall in Paramount Pictures' Star Trek Beyond. Come check out a new featurette now!
After playing the Commandant in Netflix's critically acclaimed Beasts of No Nation and bringing the voice of Shere Khan to life in Walt Disney Pictures' well-received The Jungle Book, the always excellent Idris Elba (Thor: Ragnarok) now has his sights on bringing down the USS Enterprise as the notorious Krall. Details on the character's past are unknown, but thanks to a brand new featurette, we have a few vague details on his motivation and his grudge against the Federation. Check it out below:
After stopping off at Starbase Earhart, a remote outpost on the fringes of Federation space, the USS Enterprise, halfway into their five-year mission, is destroyed by a powerful, unstoppable wave of unknown aliens. With the crew stranded on a unknown planet and with no apparent means of rescue, they find themselves in conflict with a new ruthless enemy who has a well-earned hatred of the Federation and what it stands for.
