Star Trek: Beyond star Idris Elba says his villainous role will be different than anything fans have seen in the franchise before. Elba told MTV that while his antagonist's nature will be largely in line with past Trek villains, screenwriter Simon Pegg and his co-writer Doug Jung have written a "very interesting, complex journey" for his character. Elba says, "I think Star Trek has prided themselves as being quite classic when it comes to villains, like 'he?s a guy who wants to end the world,' there?s no doubt about that. But in this version of the film, there?s a slightly different twist to that. It?s quite an interesting journey, which I think is groundbreaking for the franchise. But, it still keeps with the 'classic bad guy is a classic bad guy' tone."
