Summary
I’ve seenChris Pinein a great many movies, but two of my favorites are looking less likely to get the sequels I so desperately crave, and that’s very frustrating. The actor’s varied filmography makes it difficult to rankChris Pine’s best movies, but I have my own personal ranking that places two specific movies very close to the top. Annoyingly, despite them both being ripe for a continuation, they’ve both found themselves stuck in production hell.
Pine has the advantage of appearing in grounded movies as well as one of thegreatest sci-fi franchises of all time, and other types of narratives. The two Chris Pine movies I want to see get sequels feature him walking into existing franchises and doing an awesome job. It can be a daunting task for certain actors, but Pine doesn’t let the pressure get to him in either instance and does his job incredibly well. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look good for my desire to see him reprise these roles - but it’s not impossible either.
I’m Worried Star Trek 4 & Dungeons & Dragons 2 Will Never Happen
Chris Pine should get another Star Trek movie as well as another D&D story
I’m a hugeStar Trekfan, soI was immediately excited when Pine was announced to be taking over the role of Captain James T Kirkas part of the2009Star Trekmovie cast. He went on to play Kirk twice more before the reboot came to an abrupt halt. Since the third movie inAbrams' Kelvin Timeline, 2016’sStar Trek Beyond, a fourth installment has been discussed a great deal, but production has yet to begin. As a result, the last of my faith that it will ever happen is starting to slip away.
With theStar Trekfranchise currently in its best shape for years, I find it especially confusing thatStar Trek 4still hasn’t entered production.
I’m not often a fantasy fan, but Chris Pine’s presence in thecast of 2023’sDungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thievescaused me to go and see the movie. I loved what I saw, and I thought it perfectly set up what would be an incredibly enjoyable and successful franchise. However, Paramount doesn’t quite seem sure whether it should pull the trigger onDungeons & Dragons 2. Sure,Honor Among Thievesworks well on its own, but it feels like a waste to let a story set within such a popular world come to an end after a single film.
Captain Kirk & Edgin Darvis Are Two Of Chris Pine’s Best Roles
I hope to see Pine return to these characters one day
Pine can slip into almost any role, and he can balance drama with comedy terrifically. That being said, I’ve never been drawn in by any Chris Pine performance as much as I have while watching him embody Captain Kirk and Edgin Davis. The actor’s take on theStar Trekcharacter originated by William Shatner is brilliant, and he honors the legend while adding his own flair.He had greater freedom with Edgin, and he ran with it to create a compelling protagonist. Hopefully, I’ll get to seeChris Pinebring both of these characters to life again at some point.
