For those wondering if any of the “Star Trek: The Next Generation”, cast will appear in cameos in J.J. Abrams upcoming new “Star Trek” film, don’t get your hopes up. It’s not going to happen. You will not see Picard, Riker, Data, Geordi, Dr. Crusher, Worf, or Deanna Troi in the new film at all. The closest you’ll ever see them participate in the new “Star Trek” film, is read the prequel countdown comics, they are in there.

The only Trek cast member from the past that WILL have a role in the new “Star Trek” film is of course, no one other than Leonard Nimoy as the adult Spock. The old Spock is not just a cameo in the new film, J.J. said he’s in pretty much throughout the entire film.

Will “The Next Generation” cast ever have a new Star Trek film in the future? It’s very unlikely ’cause the actors in the cast has moved on to new careers. I don’t see them going back to Star Trek anytime soon. I’m sure “The Next Generation” cast will probably be at J.J. Abrams “Star Trek” premiere to see the film there.
