Simon Kinberg's Potential Role in Star Trek Reboot Faces Fan Backlash

Fans express skepticism over Kinberg's involvement due to his controversial history with the X-Men franchise.

  • Simon Kinberg is in talks to produce the new Star Trek reboot, which will explore the creation of Starfleet and first contact with alien life.
  • Fans are concerned about Kinberg's track record, particularly his work on the poorly received X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
  • The new Star Trek project will be set decades before the events of the 2009 film and may alter the franchise's established timeline.
  • J.J. Abrams, Seth Grahame-Smith, and Toby Haynes are also attached to the project, bringing varied creative perspectives.
  • Some fans believe the franchise's issues predate Kinberg's involvement and are rooted in previous reboots.
