Star Trek Producer J.J. Abrams said the studio and producers have no plans to recast Anton Yelchin?s role in Star Trek, 'Chekov.' In an interview with the Toronto Sun, Abrams said ??I would say there?s no replacing him. There?s no recasting. I can?t possibly imagine that, and I think Anton deserves better.? Yelchin died in a car accident in June of 2016. When asked if they planned to kill off the character of Chekov, Abrams said they have yet to decide on a tasteful way to remove Yelchin?s character.
